High Capacity 6.8 Amp Hour lightweight 14.8v Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Carbon Tube Battery. This 6.8 Amp/Hour battery comes with a single DC output connector in an outer case made from super strong carbon fibre and custom end caps. The end cap mounts are flexible enough to be mounted anywhere on your bike, and can cope with any frame cross section. Compatible with all of our lights and Li-Ion chargers.
Lumicycle‘s 2020 Extender Carbon range offers outstanding performance in an incredibly small form factor. Housed in extremely durable lightweight carbon fibre tubing and assembled with custom UV stabilised, soft, flexible and extremely strong polymer end caps.
Extender Carbon 6.8ah Li-Ion batteries are likely to replace our original bag battery as the most popular option to power all of our light systems. The Carbon tube offers reduced physical size compared to the extender bag option, whilst allowing the battery to be mounted anywhere on the bike frame. The end caps are flexible to allow for any mount location, onto any frame shape or size. Soft polymer mounts minimise risk of frame damage, whilst the strong straps ensure that the battery doesn’t move even under extreme riding conditions. The new Carbon battery is supplied with a single output DC lead, which can be added to with our range of Y connectors and extension leads to suit your light system requirement.
Note
The table below shows an estimated run time in each mode using the Carbon Extender 6.8Ah battery, assuming constant power mode use, without the automated battery management software, that will increase the run times in Mid, Low and strobe modes by around 30% from the times published here. Older Halogen and Halide lights only have one run mode, with no additional run time extending software. Many factors impact actual run times, initial charge state, ambient temperature and the version of LED driver board and software will all have an influence on actual runtime, these times are conservative but should be used a a guide only.
if you have a requirement for specific runtimes please contact us to discuss as we offer special versions of software for extreme run times for Ultra Endurance and Audax riding.
