the light is only 4.2v where as this battery pack
http://www.7dayshop.com/cycle-bike-...v-6000mah-battery-pack-for-ds-009-cycle-light
is 7.4v, would this blow it being too much? considering ti is almost double the voltage i would guess so?
or this one doesn't list the voltage but it said at the top of the page that these battery packs are for their 1000 and 1200 lumen lights (i am on about the big square battery at the top of the age)

costs a fair bit though :sad:
Cheers Ed

You need to get the higher voltage lights as they are more common.

I got two of the 4 battery (8.4v) versions over a year ago. Both work great, plenty of run time (3 to 4 hours on full output), no issues with charging.
The build quality looks fine, have stood up to rain etc. If you were going for one best go for the 8.4v battery pack

We got them from a UK seller with UK charger. I realised it was a risk but at the price, worth it.

My battery pack is getting a bit past it after 2 winters it now needs to be chaged every day for maybe half an hour at full power.
Just ordered a 6 cell battery , lets hope it lasts longer :smile:

likewise on the battery getting flakier. I'm going for the C&B... battery option this time round.

@young Ed Might I also suggest you nip back to C&B..... and buy a fresnel glass for the unit. they're about a fiver & make the beam pattern a touch more rectangular than conical, it helps for you to see by as you have a wider lateral throw for no less forward illumination and makes it less dazzling for oncoming drivers and passing aircraft.

Do you know if it is possible to get a 45mm diameter fresnel glass anywhere? From what I can see c&b seen only go up to 39mm.

You probably have a dead cell or more if it only needs 30 mins to charge. UK based replacements aren't expensive.
