Somebody asked me for a recommendation on an above standard bicycle light which should give around 6 hours runtime. One of my top pics for a light is the Solarstorm XT40. I still need to do some calculations, but 6 hours is a bit optimistic on a 4 cell battery pack. My rough guesstimate on a good 6800 mah (4 cell) pack would be around
I’m looking for recommendations on battery packs bigger than 4 cells. I want to be able to buy the batteries separate, so that I can recommend good batteries for the application. Thus, I’m almost looking for something like this that can take 6-8 cells? This makes things flexible. I was not able to find such a product though.
Maybe advice around building such a unit myself would be great? Will it be possible to run 2 of the above units (2 x 4 cell packs) in parallel with some kind of splitter / parallel cable?
Mmm, seems like a gray topic this… For now, I’m going the route of 2 x Solarstorm battery packs, with manual swop out (thus not in parallel) as needed. If the first pack goes dead, manually swop to 2nd pack. Thanks.
