Thanks, This sounds like a battery issue. I actually got the light to fire up for 5 minutes last night, so I don't think it's the light. I didn't do anything to waterproof the battery and have ridden in some pretty nasty stuff the last couple months (and heavy rain right before I started having the problem).

Where do I get the $10 circut to fix this (I assume Geoman, but I have not heard back from him yet)?

So, assuming I get the battery fixed (or buy another one), what is the best way to waterproof them?
