Battery Power

Custom built Lithium Polymer Batteries come in two sizes. 3hr & 6hr with either on / off switching or no switching. Short circuit, over voltage, low voltage cut out and other smarts are built into the battery packs, each packed inside a watertight plastic casing for protection. Mount anywhere neoprene battery pouches further protect and carry your light power.

Gone are the days that you have to conserve battery power. No more resting in the dark with our lights. 3hr batteries have a minimum burn time of 3 hours and weigh in at 70 grams for the none switched type to approx 80 grams for the on / off switched type. 6hr batteries have a minimum burn time of 6 hours and weigh in at 130 grams for the none switched type to approx 140 grams for the on / off switched type.

Our batteries have been designed to be mounted within 150mm from the light, be it on handle bar stem or helmet. There are no problems with dangly leads and we offer only very long burn times, so no need to keep turning the lights on and off whilst resting. Depending on the conditions the batteries can still be outputting enough light to ride even after 2 hours past their rated life.

Lights can be powered up and down in the wettest conditions providing it is fresh or rainwater.

The power connectors we have chosen for our light system are a high quality Japanese type, which has proven to be the most reliable. Our custom built silicone button requires at least 3mm of travel before it activates the internal switch. We have designed it this way for positive feedback for the user and made it pronounced enough to be found easily with or without gloves.

These batteries carry their own ‘smarts’ & unlike most other batteries are fully protected internally with short circuit, over voltage and low voltage cut off. The battery casings are waterproof to a depth of 0.5 meter. They are also designed to withstand a repeated fall of 5 meters to a concrete floor.

Our warranty policy is such that if any part fails through normal use within 1 year it will be replaced free of charge. How’s that for confidence!
