Rechargable Cells/batteries for Lights
Hi,
Currently using a rather bog-standard cateye front light for commuting. It requires two C/R14/Baby size cells. I'm currently usinf NiMh 2300mAh cells. Despite the claims of global warming, the rather bitter cold here is having a noticable effect on the performance of the cells (maybe up to 1/3 reduction). i hear that Cadmium cells suffer less from this effect (despite their other shortfalls), does anybody know how true this is in a/this practical sense? Secondly, i suspect that the longer/faster i ride the colder the light becomes (fact, i've experimented and the effect is noticable) thus effecting the battery further and i presume this is to do with a) increased time in the cold (obviously) and b)wind chill effect. Before i go to the bother of creating some neoprene light sleeve to increase insulation does anyone know if this is likely to have the slightest effect? Any other ideas appreciated Thanks |
