Exactly what kind of battery was it? I take it that it was a primary and not a rechargeable. I've yet to see a report of a single cell protected rechargeable exploding in a light that wasn't do to user error such as shorting out the battery with a magnet.
It was a primary. Some brand that is cheap and not recommended. I think it was an Ultra-Fire. Hopefully it was the cheap battery. I don't know how we can be positive. I thought I remembered two threads in CPF about single cell rechargeables venting. I can't remember, it was at least three years ago. ?? It would be nice If I'm wrong.
I'm glad to hear about the Radbots. I use mine day and night. A couple of other riders have bought Radbots based on how bright mine is during the day. For some reason Mechbgon had trouble with his "new" replacements and stopped using them. Have you used yours in cold weather?
