Description
Do you need help repairing your white ACCULUX BMW glovebox flashlight (BMW part number: 82-11-9-413-147)? While we have instructions to do this yourself, it may not be for everyone. To help everyone, we offer a full BMW glovebox repair and lifetime upgrade. If you have a BMW glovebox flashlight that looks like the picture above, we can help you. If you have started to perform you own repair, but then decided you would rather we finish the repair, we can also help. Just be sure to include all the dissembled parts in your shipment. Here is what the service provides:
Basic Service:
1. It is not surprising your flashlight does not work, since the batteries were designed to last only 5 years due to the simple BMW design.

We will also clean and remove corrosion that builds onto the brass/copper when the battery leaks and not replaced for a long time. A six month warranty is provided.
Extended Lifetime Service
2. In addition to the repairs outlined in the Basic Service, the Extended Lifetime service increases the lifetime of the new batteries by upgrading the internal circuitry of the flashlight as described in the Hacking a 1996 BWM E36 Flashlight for Longer Lifetime. This includes a small additional circuit board (see picture below) that will shunt off current from the battery once it is has been charged. A three year warranty is provided from the returned data.
Service Time:
3. The Normal service time is less than 2 weeks. We also offer an express service that will ship the repaired flashlight within 1 week of receiving it.
Both Services will then Perform:
4. An extended discharge and recharge verifying and documenting the repair. Pictures are taken of the unit before and after repaired.
