177 Wh for $157? What are you going to run, 20W halogens all night?
Using lithiums with halogens is kind of like using a pop-up abacus on
your computer.

The item description says 77Wh. That would be good for a ~10W LED
system, with capacity for a long round trip in the dark, or the
ability to charge every few rides instead of every outing.

Bought 2 for a sea kayak bilge pump. a hammer. and nun too soon, here
come dah rocks.
Fond memories of Colorado Cyclist's light show reminded that DIY light
packages might come in cheaper.
Clapotis.
Sales is helpful and responsive.

10W of LEDs is a honking big light.

I would have thought daylight was the norm for mountain bike riding.
