One thing I also realized after using the Cygolites is that I like their regulated feature and also the low battery indicator. The lights don't dim even while in use even when the low battery indicators start to blink.

I usually start charging the lights even before the low battery indicators start blinking to avoid the possibility of deep discharge.
Rechargable AAA batteries are relatively inexpensive and easy to come by - good choice! Most AA and AAA chemisteries are OK to discharge completely though - in fact its better for them!

So how long are your rechargables lasting you?
