Magic Shine Battery replacement

I have a Magicshine 808 headlight with the original recalled battery which I bought from Geoman. My battery was working fine at the time it was recalled for replacement. Therefore I didn't send mine for replacement when it was recalled. I need to buy another battery now since my old one not working anymore. Any recommendation for where to buy a new battery.
Thanks in advance

+1 on action leds.. good people do deal with.. This one I bought and been using for sometime, will give you 3+ hours on high

another item which is very nice is the wide angle lense... https://www.action-led-lights.com/col...ide-angle-lens

they also sell a smaller 2 cell battery pack that I use on shorter rides and just put into my stem bag.. I have also recommended this to riders that like using there ms light as a helmet light.. The only issue is burn time about 90 min high w/ p7 and 110 w/ xml model.. If you need longer burn w/ 2 cell pack reduce to medium mode on your light for extra 80-90 min of burn time

I have to admit that I had seen this site for action-led-lights.com but was skeptical until Socalrider made the recommendation to me. I have yet to order anything from the site myself.

I ordered my MJ-816E from them about a month or so ago. I placed another order earlier this week for the Magic Shine 6600 mAh battery, and the carbon fiber head light mount. My first order was shipped the same business day, and my most resent order was shipped out monday (order was placed on sunda).

I would deffinatly order from Action LED again.

Thanks a lot for the Action-led site info. I already placed an order for the battery and wide angle lense from Action-led.
By the way, what is the best way to store these batteries to last longer when they are not in use.

With RC LiPo batteries for long term storage guys prefer to store them around half to 2/3 capacity. It would be kind of hard to determine with these packs because your charger doesn't give you mAh capacity, total pack voltage, and individual cell voltage.

I used to be all anal about battery care.

But then I really started abusing my batteries but they seem "take it" - I'm still using a battery nearly three years old - and I am talking about all night "run till its dead usage."
I've got about 5 batteries now - try to store them correctly - but it doesn't seem like as big of a deal any more....... I guess if you treat them just right you'll get 5 years or more...
