It seems the last threads on battery lights were somewhat old and since tech is moving so fast, I thought I would reopen a thread to see if any ground breaking battery lights have been released- for those of you NOT using a dynamo, what lights are you using (and pls include how much external battery you need to cover a big ride like PBP).

I used a Magicshine 906 with the big battery and a B+M Ixon IQ as backup for PBP with 3 Sigma USB rear lights (they last about 15hrs on one charge). The Magicshine battery is very heavy and on the setting I use, lasts about 31hrs. Am considering other options for LEL but realized at PBP, a big and bright light is essential to keep me awake!

I also have to carry 2 external batteries to keep the Garmin 830 and iphone charged (although this is in airplane modus). Considering switching to the Coros Dura for the battery life as I would not have to carry as much battery and buying 1 or 2 Nitecore 10,000mah to reduce my total weight (lightest external battery on the market).
