Rechargeable batteries and chargers for bike lights
Following up an earlier piece on night riding, BikeMagic has a new writeup discussing the technical details of different types of batteries and chargers for bike lighting systems.
And, speaking of chargers, a North Vancouver company has developed a fuel cell that can power bike lights. Although the current version of the cell only replaces two AA batteries — something that makes the cell suitable for lower powered lights sometimes used by commuters — the technology could hold promise for adventure racers and 24 hour racers if developed to light higher power lights.
Don’t forget about the entry I wrote that was meant to be a primer for getting out on your bike in the dark. If you’re looking for a starting point on your journey into darkness, that piece is a good choice.
