    Continuing the garage clean-up,,,will her look ever end?
    Anyone want a older night rider light. It is a battery bottle type (heavy). It is the two bulb type in front. I have the charger. The battery is getting low. When I used it last, it would barely last for my commute ~ 9 miles per charge. Bulbs work fine. I don’t know much about these, but it is yours for free. Over in crystal city area.

    Had the same halogen light (purchased in early 1990s) back when their bike and scuba lights were essentially the same tech.

    I ended up E-cycling it last year. I think the bottle battery consists of cylindrical lead-acid batteries (not ni-cad). In any case, don’t throw it out, make sure it goes to a good project (unlikely) or gets properly e-cycled.

    Solderable batteries are pretty easy to find. Anyone trying to remake the battery pack should check if the old one has any other components like thermistors.

    Sounds like a great project – I always wanted one of these for nighttime trail rides. Sadly, am under similar pressure to purge our garage…
