Ross_kim, I have the 3 Million Candle power unit, too. Man, it's like waking around with automobilehigh beams on! Daylight at midnight! Anyway, regarding replacement source for Vector Spot battery "SEL DMU6-6": CarlGlas's advice points to a slightlydifferent and inferior product: you had 6ah, the suggestion provides 4.5ah. I found this replacement: the Tempest TR6-6 at BatterySpec @http://www.batteryspec.com/cgi-bin/cart.cgi?action=link&product=313. (I suggest avoiding their TR6-6A for Vectors Spotlights: it's a littlebigger, and may not fit. Also, BatterySpec suggests the Tempest 5-6A as anequivalent for the original "SEL DMU 6-6"; that's only equivalent if5ah=6ah. Caveat Emptor) You can see the actual specs on this product at (themanufacturer) Tempest's web site: http://www.tempestbatteries.com/html/tr6-6.html. This seems to be a virtually identical battery as Vector'soriginal "SEL DMU 6-6" in every way butone. Vector's battery had one F1 (.187"wide) terminal, and one F2 (.250" wide) terminal. On the BatterySpec's Tempest, both terminalsare F1. This was no problem: the Vectorlamp's leads snap snug and secure over both terminals. I paid $10.90, plus $10.13 shipping, ordered on Saturdaymorning 10/23, got a shipping confirmation from their San Jose CA warehouseMonday evening 10/25, and received it in Virginia on Monday morning11/1/2010.
In March, 2006, Black & Decker purchased Vector Products, Inc. Since the acquisition, Black & Decker has assumed the manufacturing of all Vector products. For customer service and warranty information for Vector products, please contact Black & Decker Customer Service. Or, you can order a replacement battery from: www.batterymart.com/p-6v-4_5ah-sealed-lead-acid-battery.html
marrazzo, thanks for bringing this deficiency to my attention. While the battery I recommended would work, it wouldn't last as long between charges. Also, thanks for the sites. I need to order replacement 12 v 12 Ah batteries for my UPS.
I contacted Black & Decker and got a response saying the spotlight is an old model and they carry no replacement parts.
