** PPS sorry i studied electrical engineering so hopefully i didn't use too many "unknown" terms here - i tried to explain abbreviations
No that's okay. I have a basic knowledge of electrical terminology. That gives me an idea of about how long my batteries are going to last me.

I got it finally fitted last night and running. Took about a 15 minute ride through some of the more darker areas in my neighborhood. Works wonders over my old light. I have a 40 degree flood, which covers most of the road in front of me and looks down quite a ways. I bought a 1.5A trickle charge 12V charger. It takes a while to charge but an over night is good. On top of that it has an auto shut off when the battery is charged, to prevent overcharging. I've heard that NiMh have a tendency to go bad due to over charging. The batteries have a weight of only 2lbs and the light is super light.

The best part is the batteries side by side all fit perfectly into a 3X5 card box that is plastic.

I'll get some pictures soon.
