LED Lenser replacement battery cartridge for P7.2, T7.2 - switch cage

This saved me having to ditch a very nice torch after the Duracell batteries supplied with it vomited all over the inside. The fit is good and it works in both my P7 and my P7.2, well worth the money ( compared to the replacement cost for the torch.

I purchased this product without noticing it is suitable for P7.2, this is not suitable for P7.1 torches. However you can use this product to repair the original P7.1 switch cage, the only update appears to be the mechanism for the on/off activation, the parts are interchangeable. I now have a running torch, so suitable for a repair to a P7.1 with minor assembley.

First of all, I agree with what the other reviews have said about it being very tight to screw into the torch.However instead of using a file on the thread, I sprayed a small amount of silicone onto the thread which allowed me screw it in a lot easier.I had a can of silicon in the house but I am sure that a light spray from a can of polish would be just as good.Apart from that the replacement Battery Cartridge worked a treat and saved me buying a new torch.

Like other reviewers, I purchased this because one of the Duracell batteries fitted actually corroded on the the spring contact and the torch would not turn off. I cleaned up the contacts but the original battery cartridge was rendered useless, even with new batteries.The new cartridge fitted my P7.2 torch just fine and with no thread issues. However, once fitted, the button on top of the original torch is a bit hit and miss to use and I didn’t have any issues before. The cartridge button works fine on its own but once fitted it does not reliably turn on and off properly.My review would have been 5 stars if the cartridge was cheaper (<£10.00) and if the button worked flawlessly.

As others have posted, my P7.2 had suffered a battery leak (Duracell batteries) that rendered the torch unusable despite cleaning the contacts, etc. on the cartridge. Would a replacement work, I wondered, before considering that £15 was worth a go before outlaying a lot more to replace the torch completely. I'm glad I gave it a try as the part delivered appears to be a genuine Led Lenser part, fitted into the torch without issue, and I now have a fully functioning torch again. One very pleased customer.

Having had a battery leak badly damage the battery cartridge that was part of my expensive LED Lenser T7 torch I was really pleased to find that I could purchase the battery cartridge as a spare part, however .... the fine thread on the end of the replacement battery cartridge that screws into the torch body was very poorly moulded (usually caused when the die used to mould the component is worn out). Luckily I am an engineer so after about 10 mins of reforming the thread with a blade I managed to get it to start but the thread form was very poor and it was really tight to get in. Seeing as I got it to work eventually I didn't bother complaining to the supplier but I doubt if somebody not used to dealing with this sort of thing would have been able to sort it out. To sum up - very pleased to find the product on sale, but the quality was disappointing

As I own original P7 I wasn't sure it would fit. Took a gamble and it threaded fine onto the torch. The only problem was that the push button wasn't long enough. So I trimmed a small Lego cylinder and super glued it onto the push button. Works like new now, very pleased

All good for me quality seems ok and working does the job,put o ring on from old one and straight fit no problems with the screw thread as others have mentioned.
