I would go with the Night Rover Nimh Extra. Better battery less headaches. I have just recently talked to a Cygolite CSR. He said the NiCad has been discontinued from their line up Their could be a few still floating around out there. I received great customer assistance from Cygolite. The first time I called they said "I'll get right back to you" I was like oh boy! I'll get a call back 2 days later. To my amazement I got a call back in 5 minutes

The Night Rover has served me well through some very bitterly cold nights. Should be good pick for the Buffalo area.

My light Night Rover Nicad Extra I got 2 years of service from this battery 7 to 12 hours a week 365. I have just recently switched over to the Nimh. Get NiMH.
