A friend has provided me a couple Niterider lights for use. The one is a handlebar mounted light (can't recall the specific model), and while he was showing me how to plug in the charger the charger stuck in the light. As a result, the male connection pulled out of the charger. As a result I now have a light w/o a charger for its battery pack.
So I have a couple questions:
1) Can I use any old charger with the right sized connection to charge the batteries for the light?
2)Is there an easy way to repair the charger or should I just buy a new one (this was a 1 week long charge)?
3) On a budget is there any good place to purchase chargers fast? I have a 200k ride in in 11 days?
Finally, he also gave me a second light which goes on the helmet. In the worst case scenario, will this be sufficient for the 1.25 hour pre-dawn portion of the ride? Or should I spend $30 for a planetbike headlight rear blinky set at the lbs?
