My original battery lasted 90-120 minutes in the high setting when new. Recently, it crashed and now only holds 5 minutes. The battery was ever enough for me so I wanted an upgrade (above).

It comes with battery, charger, and connectors.

Initial report:
Good: I'm at 3h 25m on high with charge left.
Not as good: Charger has no auto shut off.

I'll try the Cygolite charger later.
Yes, I know I risk damaging the battery, charger, fire, death, dismemberment, and voting Republican, but that's half the fun.

More later.

Just curious as to which specific model Dual Cross you've got, appears to have been several generations. Was surprised to see a 4.8v battery in your linkie...

So how is the battery life so far. Anything damaged? Just doing a checkup. :)
