I haven't had the courage to plug the charger in yet  |
That's the thing I was trying to describe and yes those are the gas absorbing 'granules'. I think S&S sell the bulb holder and backplate (incl chemical things) as one complete unit. Handy to have the spare parts anyway even if you need just the 'chemicals'.
I found when I had to pull my battery pack apart that I couldnt get any shrink wrap, so I just heat glued it all back together. The top plate with the contacts (which is a horrible design) just sits on top and is held on by the shrink wrap, or in my case mases of glue and mastic. This of course makes it very difficult to get the battery pack back into the torch body as there is bugger all room between battery and housing, so strap the batteries together before glueing, then take the strapping off as it really is that tight.
