So it turns out most USB power banks won’t charge Exposure brand lights. They describe the mechanism that causes this on their FAQ page and have confirmed with me by email that this is the issue I’ve been having (multiple power banks and 2 different Exposure lights): “Power banks have a boost con…

Thanks for linking that brand. FYI to others all their products are designed for action sports. Most are water resistant, some are impact resistant, and they even have a line that is designed to function in extreme cold. The NB20,000 has 30w input, but all the other models I looked at have max 18…

Some updates here. Most significant finding is at least one brand that charges the Strada if you use a USB-C to A adapter and charge via the C port instead of the A. I’ve tested this on two different sized batteries from the same brand with success, and on one other where it doesn’t work. So it’s …

I feel a bit like I’m spamming my own thread today, but BIG AFTERNOON UPDATE: Zendure Supermini 20w 10,000mAh charges Exposure Strada Mk10RS from the USB-A port with no issues. It also charges via the USB-C with an adapter but draws the exact same wattage so no advantage there. It will do pass-th…

@alexfthenakis Thank you fro the additional information and your testing.

This was a fascinating thread and had me researching all sorts of powerbanks I don’t even need. I only do short 1-2 day rides and my Anker 10,000 mah seems to charge my smaller exposure Sirius light ok. I want to do a full round-down test on it to make sure it can keep it running or if I can plug i…

Thanks Due to the link between this thread and the one discussing high speed chargers I was wondering if you have tried charging an exposure light with the USB cable connected to one of the high output GaN chargers? Exposure have said they don’t think the light would charge. [image] Super…

I am a big fan of my Exposure lights for my 24-Hour racing and have some decent battery knowledge from other hobbies (and I’m an engineer by day so I’m comfortable pushing product limits). I’ve used a Diablo as well as the Zenith with Exposure’s own support cells. Knowing what I do about batteries…

[image] webbierrex: I was wondering if you have tried charging an exposure light with the USB cable connected to one of the high output GaN chargers? 99% sure I’ve tested this with my ugreen 65w folding plug charger and had success. Am certain I would have checked because I have an older main…

This is kind of amazing! Thanks for sharing. Would any of these diy backups also work as powerbanks? Or to charge from/to power banks?

I linked mine here, but there are dozens of options on Amazon, eBay, alixpress, etc. they’re cheap and simple and don’t look like it’s worth shopping around too much for the level of accuracy we’re talking about here:
