7.5V Li-Ion Batteries

The 7.5V Lithium-Ion battery is the most commonly used battery type for mountain bike lights. The main difference between battery options is the capacity — a higher capacity battery will provide a longer run time.

Please note that some low-cost imported lights and battery packs may advertise unrealistic capacity ratings. The stated capacity is not always a true reflection of the cells used. As a guide, a typical four-cell battery pack (approximately 40 x 40 x 70mm) will have a capacity of around 4.4Ah.

Every Lithium-Ion battery supplied by MTB Batteries includes an integrated protection circuit designed to safeguard against overcharging, over-discharging, overcurrent and short circuits. Each cell also includes an additional resettable fuse for enhanced safety.

All batteries are supplied at approximately 30% state of charge, which is the optimum level for storage and transportation. Although the battery can be used immediately, we recommend fully charging it before first use with a suitable Lithium-Ion charger, which is also available from MTB Batteries.

Important Note:
There has recently been confusion regarding incorrectly labelled batteries supplied with some mountain bike lights. Batteries marked as 8.4V are often incorrectly labelled — this figure refers to the battery's maximum full-charge voltage, not its nominal voltage. A battery labelled 7.5V and one labelled 8.4V are typically the same battery type.

- Connectors

MTB Batteries supplies a wide range of connectors compatible with many popular mountain bike lights, allowing you to use our replacement batteries directly with your existing light and charger without the need for additional adapters or modifications.

Many of our battery packs can also be supplied with a lead length to suit your requirements. If you need a longer or shorter cable than the standard length, please contact us before placing your order and we will be happy to discuss your requirements.

If we do not have a suitable connector available, you can send us your original battery and we can reuse the existing lead and connector to ensure full compatibility with your equipment.

Weatherproofing

As these batteries will not always be used in perfect dry conditions each battery is firstly double sleeved in a PVC heatshrink and then put within its own neoprene weatherproof cover.

Larger 6 & 8 cell batteries are double sleeved and then plasti-dipped to aid the weatherproofing.

Each battery also comes within its own battery bag that has two velcro fasteners for securing to bike.
Bottle type is also avalable on request
