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.

Key features

• Rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack for Vimar electronic hand lamps
• Nominal voltage: 4.8 V
• Capacity: 80 mAh
• Battery pack format (pre-assembled pack), not loose individual cells
• Compatible application: civil series emergency flashlights for Eikon, Arké, Plana, and Idea

• Battery weight: 18 g

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.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
