[QUOTE="Petras, post: 140010, member: 216"] I love my Lithium Ion rapala knife. You absolutely cannot run the batteries completely dead on them otherwise you screw them up. Seems like I read somewhere that they have a protective circuit built into them that, if the battery voltage gets too low the circuit opens up and sometimes will not close and allow the battery to charge back up. I actually had to get a new battery after the first time I used my knife. Pulled it out of the package, cleaned a couple limits of fish and when I went to charge it, it wouldn't take a charge. I called Rapala and they mailed me a new battery free of charge. Another thing to remember with these Lithium batteries is that it is absolutely imperative to use the proper supplied charger. Lithium batteries have a different charging cycle than other batteries. If you use the wrong charger, you will jack the battery up. [/QUOTE]
