BATTERY REPLACEMENT AND CHARGING
The Survivor Pivot® is not compatible with legacy Survivor® chargers and has a mechanical lockout that will prevent insertion. Do not force the Survivor Pivot” into legacy Survivor® chargers or bank chargers.
The Survivor Pivot® can be powered using the rechargeable battery pack or the battery carrier.
The battery carrier will accommodate (3) AA batteries or (1) Streamlight SL-B26* rechargeable battery. Battery is accessible through the door on the bottom of the light. The battery door will only close if the battery pack or carrier is inserted with the proper orientation. Do not force the battery door closed.
Do not mix old and new batteries, types, or brands. Refer to the safety section for battery safety information.
NOTICE The rechargeable batteries for this product are recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various country and state laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery in the municipal solid waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal (In USA: RBRC).
Alkaline or Lithium AA
Remove the battery carrier from the light. Use fresh replacement cells and observe the polarity indicated on the carrier.
SL-B26® Lithium-lon Battery
NOTICE Charge battery before first use.
Remove the battery carrier from the light and the SL-B26® from the carrier. Plug the micro-USB connector into the USB port on the SL-B26® battery and plug the other end of the cord into a power source. The SL-B26® has built-in red/green charge indicators on the top surface and will take approximately 5 hours to charge through a micro-USB. Once fully charged, insert into the battery carrier with the spring side to negative. The SL-B26® battery can also be charged using the Streamlight 2-unit Li-Ion USB Battery Charger or the Streamlight 8-unit Li-Ion Battery Bank Charger. Do not use other 18650 cells in this product.
Note: The SL-B26® will not charge while installed in the flashlight.
Rechargeable Battery Pack
NOTICE Charge battery before first use
The Survivor Pivot® with a rechargeable battery pack is designed to be stored in the charger to ensure that the light is always ready for use. Optimal battery life can be achieved if the battery is charged in moderate temperatures between 32°F and 110°F. If the Survivor Pivot® has been in freezing conditions, allow the light to warm up for about a half hour before placing it in the charger.
CHARGER
Connect the power cable, noting polarity orientation of the plug. To charge, depress the charger retaining handle and push the base of the flashlight into the charger with the door latch facing out.
A red LED on the charger indicates that the battery is being charged. The red LED turns to green indicating a full charge. The charger will draw up to 550mA for 5 hours when charging the Survivor Pivot® . During maintenance charge, current is pulsing and effectively draws .02 amps.
Mounting the Charger
Before drilling any holes, make sure there is room to insert and remove the Survivor Pivot®. Four (4) self-tapping 1 1/4” #8 screws are included with each mounting rack and should be sufficient for most mounting situations. Should your mounting situation require heavier hardware, use #8 machine screws.
Vehicle Charging
CAUTION Before making electrical connections in a vehicle, keep in mind that a shorted auto battery can easily start a fire. Make all connections with type-approved connectors intended for such service. Be sure that your installation is fused.
A 12VDC power cord (#22051) is equipped with a cigarette plug and is available for mounting a Streamlight charger in a vehicle. The plug can be removed, and the wires can be attached directly to a power source for a more permanent installation. A two-amp fuse must be used on the positive lead if connected directly to a power source.
The striped power lead is positive, and the unmarked lead is negative. When connecting the charger to a fuse block, the striped, positive power lead goes to the connector that is dead when the vehicle’s fuse is removed. The charger body is electrically isolated from the charge circuit and allows positive ground installations. The charger is diode protected and if connected in reverse polarity, simply won’t operate until connected properly.
Streamlight recommends connecting chargers to an unswitched source of power to ensure the flashlight is always fully charged. If the vehicle will not be driven for several days, the flashlight should be removed from the charger to avoid vehicle battery drain.
The chassis on most vehicles is negative ground. In this case, the charger’s striped lead should be connected to the output side of the fuse. The unmarked negative lead should be connected to the chassis. If the chassis of the vehicle is positive ground, the striped lead of the charger should connect to the chassis and the unmarked lead should go to the output side of the fuse.
PRODUCT USE:
Streamlight flashlights are intended for use as high intensity, heavy duty, and portable light sources.
Use of Streamlight flashlights for any purpose other than as light sources is specifically discouraged by the manufacturer. Streamlight specifically disclaims liability for other than recommended use.
NOTICE Be sure to use only genuine Streamlight replacement parts to assure product safety. Substitution may invalidate the product approval. Do not try to repair the unit yourself. Send to a qualified service facility or return it to the factory.
