I'd like to couple this battery pack
https://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1257
to an 8 year old Nite Rider Digital Pro 6 Halogen light (6V @ 15W, 10W, 6W, blink & SOS mode).

I don't have the original battery or charger, so I'm not sure if this connector works. I talked to John in their sales department, but he wasn't too sure about it either.

Does anyone have a recommendation for batteryspace.com and/or this battery's compatibility with my lighting unit?

If you get it connected your lights will actually be a little brighter than with the NiteRider battery, since you're running 7.4V instead of 6.0V.

I'm pretty sure the connector isn't compatible, but you could easily cut it and solder on something else that will work.
