The Real BMC Posted July 2, 2020 Share Gents, recently bought a bike light from Evobikes that comes with USB cable attached. Where can I get a battery/power bank for this light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-Cycles Posted July 2, 2020 Share That's a new one to me - I have bike light batteries and USB adapters for them which might work? https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/lights-and-batteries/407381/magicshine-lights-clearance-sale-free-spares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCTG Posted July 2, 2020 Share Forgot about extreme lights if you dont come right with previous lead. https://www.extremelights.co.za/?utm_source=Extreme+Lights&utm_campaign=c3ccdd6070-First+Sample+Received_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cf3878f787-c3ccdd6070-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D&ct=t%28First+Sample+Received_COPY_01%29&mc_cid=c3ccdd6070&mc_eid=%5BUNIQID%5D ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquaratza Posted July 2, 2020 Share Extreme Lights batteries are very good. I bought three of them for TransBaviaans but have lately been using them for powering video cameras for long durations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Posted July 3, 2020 Share Gents, recently bought a bike light from Evobikes that comes with USB cable attached. Where can I get a battery/power bank for this light?I have one of these that I carry as a backup light on long bikepacking trips. Interestingly, some powerbanks run them and others don't. It is a bit of trial and error to find one that does the job. My wife has an Apple powerbank that definately works. My Romoss powerbank does not run it. Something to do with the allowed resistance apparently??? I would take it to a powerbank shop and try the various options out if I were you. They all work for about a minute and then some switch off, so when you test them, give it a couple of minutes each.

DR ◣◢ Posted July 3, 2020 Share Romoss Sense 6+. Absolute powerhouse. Charges everything without sweat including a Macbook if you're in a pinch. It was the only one that worked to charge a Canon EOS RP and Fuji XT3. My Romoss powerbank does not run it. Which model do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
