I have used a 1400 Ah 2/3 C for five years along with my 4Ah Gel cells to power my L50 and Halgon bicycle lights, I was one of the first to test Xin circurit but found that the power brick or an auto adapter worh just as well. Price and weight consideration for me is a winner from this source http://www.hosfelt.com/ AA NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE $US 1.95 RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES MFG. - NEXCELL 1.2VDC 2100mAh 33-219 By the way, I introduce this company to the list 5 years ago for power brick at less than 15 dollars each. > -----Original Message----- > From: PhotoEngineering [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2003 2:51 PM > To: Libretto > Subject: RE: [LIB] External battery for my L50 > > > Date: Sat, 01 Nov 2003 22:58:42 -0800 > From: PhotoEngineering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: [LIB] External battery for my L50 > > 15 dollars!?!
