Hi Jonathan - I'm not sure which light you have that you are needing the magnetic charger. The product page does list the three different magentic chargers and which one is needed for a specific light. We are not sure why the factory reveresed the polarity on a newer light, but they did. It looked like you ordered the charger for the HM61R V2, and that polarity is opposite from some of the older models, including the original HM61R. These are the three available, as listed on the product page:

There are three versions, each with their own polarity and light compatibility.

USB-CHCR: Currently fits the WT25R Flashlight. Also fits older model Fenix lights like the E18, E30R, HM61R, RC05 SE, RC05, RC09, and RC11.

USB-HM61RV2-CORD: Fits the HM61R V2.0 Headlamp

USB-WF26R-CORD: Fits the WF26R Flashlight

(The USB-CHCR is currently out of stock - I'm guessing that's the one you need. I would recommend contacting warranty to return the recent purchase and add yourself to the waitlist to be notified when we get the others back in stock. Warranty can be reached at warranty@fenixlighting.com or 888-775-9996 ext 1)

Hi Edwin - looks like you ordered the WF26R cord, which is the only one we currently have in stock, so that's the only one we would have available to ship out. I'm not sure which light you have that needed a new cord, but the factory did change the polarity on newer lights from the older lights. We do our best to make sure people get the correct cord and do have this statement on the product page in our attempt to make sure the correct cord is purchased:

'This replacement USB charging cable is made for Fenix models that use the magnetic charging system.

There are three versions, each with their own polarity and light compatibility.

USB-CHCR: Currently fits the WT25R Flashlight. Also fits older model Fenix lights like the E18, E30R, HM61R, RC05 SE, RC05, RC09, and RC11.

USB-HM61RV2-CORD: Fits the HM61R V2.0 Headlamp

USB-WF26R-CORD: Fits the WF26R Flashlight'

Hi Neil - if you haven't already. just reach out to our warranty team to return that. There are several options of the magnetic charger available on the website as some of the lights do have reverse polarity. The product page will let you know which one to purchase for the light you own. Warranty can help you with a return or exchange.

Hi John - I've asked warranty (returns) to reach out to you. There are three magnetic cords available. Looks like you ordered the one for the HM61R V2. For reasons unknown to us, the HM61R V2 headlamp has reverse polarity from previous magnetic lights. Then the WF26R cord is specifically for locking it into the charging cradle for the WF26R. Below is the list from the product page of which cord works with each light:

USB-CHCR: Currently fits the WT25R Flashlight. Also fits older model Fenix lights like the E18, E30R, HM61R, RC05 SE, RC05, RC09, and RC11.
