Hey John, you're still using Vistalights? Me too!

I've got 4 batteries and 3 lights. I've been using them for over 12 years now. If I start night riding once a week again like I used to I'll buy a new light, but right now I only get out once or twice a month, so no rush to change my system.

I got them from a friend who stopped riding and I like them but the battery is heavy and bulky. Either I'll get a new set for spring or keep these and make some new packs with Lithium cells.

Yeah, I had the old boatanchor battery. The nighsticks are better, but you gotta carry a few since they only last 45 minutes each!

Looks like Magicshine batteries are being recalled. No surprise given the number of complaints on different bike forums.

I bought a the racer kit a few months ago (one light, two batteries). So far no problems. The light itself is way better than the old Vistas
