Vimar Torch Battery, For Eikon Arké Plana Idea, Ni-MH 4.8V 80mAh

Overview

The Vimar VM00910 is a rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack (4.8 V, 80 mAh) used as the replacement battery for Vimar electronic hand lamps. It is made for the civil series emergency flashlights used with Eikon, Arké, Plana, and Idea installations, where the hand lamp docks into its base for charging and is ready to grab during a power loss.

This is the battery pack only, meant to restore normal run-time and charging behavior on an existing hand lamp that takes a 4.8 V Ni-MH pack. The pack itself weighs 18 g, so it stays in line with the way the lamp fits and handles once installed.

Compatibility and fit

Use this battery only when the installed hand lamp is the Vimar type that uses a 4.8 V Ni-MH pack in the Eikon, Arké, Plana, or Idea civil series emergency flashlight setup. Before ordering, match the voltage and chemistry on the battery already in your lamp, since the charging circuit is built around that battery type.

Installation and setup

Replace the pack with the lamp removed from its charging base and with power to the base turned off if it is hardwired into the boat. Once the housing is opened, swap the pack like-for-like and keep polarity and routing the same as the original so the lamp seats back into the base cleanly.

After replacement, let the hand lamp complete a normal charge cycle in its base before relying on it for emergency use.

Electrical and charging notes

This battery pack is for the hand lamp’s internal circuit and charging base, not for direct connection to 12 V or 24 V boat power. Charge it using the existing hand lamp cradle and avoid fast-charge equipment that is not meant for this pack.

Use on board

This is a practical match for boats already fitted with Vimar civil-series modules where a removable emergency hand lamp is part of the interior safety setup, such as near the companionway, nav station, or cabins. It keeps that built-in grab light ready without changing the lamp or the mounting hardware.

Maintenance and care

Rechargeable packs last longer when they are kept topped up and stored in their normal charging location rather than left fully discharged. Dispose of the old pack through a battery recycling program appropriate for Ni-MH batteries.
