If I loved it, I want to ride with it, but my commute is sometimes 2 hours, one way. I have a charger at work and usually carry a backup battery or two.

I get about 1.5 hours on high (the only setting I run on

) on one battery. I do carry spares for each light.

I did get a Turboferret external battery pack and a dummy cell to do a conversion but I just haven't done it yet. Here's the whole kit.

If the Magicshine were around when I started messing with these things a couple of years ago, I'd have gone that route, however.
