External Battery Packs for Bicycle Lights
If you do a lot of intense cycling, then you know that powerful illumination is essential for cycling safety and enjoyment, especially in autumn and winter. Dynamo-powered bike lights are often not bright enough if you are travelling outside urban areas without additional street lighting. The same applies to plug-in lights where the battery is built directly into the lamp. The battery capacity of these lights is also limited and may not last for the duration of longer cycling tours.
A good solution for powerful, ultra-bright battery powered bike lights are therefore bike headlights with external battery packs, such as the Busch & Müller IQ-XM or models from Lupine or Supernova. The key advantage of headlights powered by external battery packs is their superior power as they are operated by a large, high-performance battery pack which does not have to fit into the housing of the light. The battery packs are then attached to the frame or handlebars with Velcro or inside a small bag. On long cycle rides, you can also take an additional battery pack with you and, if necessary, simply pack away the discharged battery pack and connect the charged one to your bike lights. This way you are always well equipped for your cycling adventures.
Lithium-ion battery packs in various configurations
We know that various factors play a role in the selection of a suitable battery pack. We want to make it possible for you to find the battery pack that exactly meets your needs and fulfils all your requirements in the best possible way. When selecting a battery pack, first of all make sure that the voltage matches the required voltage of your bike lights. For example, we offer battery packs with 7.4 V voltage. A second important factor is the capacity which indicates how much energy your battery can store and, of course, release again. The higher the capacity in mAh, the longer the battery pack can supply the bike light with power. So if you are planning extra long tours and will need to operate your bike light at its brightest level, choose a battery pack with 9000 mAh. If you usually go on shorter rides or don't need to operate the light at its brightest setting, then a less expensive version may be sufficient for you. Base your choice on the performance and operating time of your current battery pack.
Our battery packs with bags also come with a variety of practical features. A good bag and fastening is essential to keep your battery pack securely attached to your bike, even when you are riding on uneven paths, in the mountains or in the forest. All our battery packs for bike lights can be reliably attached to the frame with Velcro and we also offer them in water-repellent and waterproof cases. Water-repellent battery packs can withstand splash water or short periods of light rain; the water runs off the surface of the battery cover and does not reach the battery pack directly. However, if you are travelling in heavy rain for a longer period of time, they cannot completely prevent water from reaching the battery.
The waterproof battery pack cases reliably prevent water from getting through to your battery. They can withstand heavy rain, large amounts of splash water, sweat and all other forms of water and ensure that your battery pack stays dry in any situation. So if you plan to cycle in all weathers (and potentially through large puddles!), it is important to make sure you choose a waterproof battery pack. This will ensure that your battery pack continues to function reliably even under extreme conditions. It is especially important in poor weather conditions and with limited visibility that you have the best possible lighting so that you can see and recognise bumps, obstacles and other sources of danger as early as possible.
Once you have identified your requirements, you can buy battery packs that perfectly meet your needs. Good battery packs are characterised by a precision-design plug and a robust, reliable mounting option. If you are also looking for chargers for battery packs, you have come to the right place. Here at Electropapa, we offer practical battery pack sets with matching chargers to ensure you have everything you need for your next bike tour and are perfectly equipped for all weather conditions, at all times of day. We want you to have fun, stay relaxed and be as safe as possible when cycling. That's why our battery packs are long-lasting, robust and dependable.
