My old exposure joystick needs a new battery (its the first of the maxx models), but I am wondering if its worth it, or if I should look at replacing it with the latest model, or getting something else. I think its 240 lumens, so the latest one is 25% brighter, I don't think that is enough to justify the cost of a new one.
Are there any other worthwhile options that come in a little cheaper?
Have you contacted Exposure to see what they would charge to replace the battery?
Smudge is now doing replacement batteries in Exposures

worth doing and then you can make sure you're using a good cell
I'd buy a cheap torch (P7 model probably but that's a matter of taste really) and with just a little luck fit it into your excellent joystick clamp. Will give you a nice power upgrade and also the convenience of replacable batteries (good for longer rides etc) but will be bigger and likely a little heavier.
Certainly wouldn't spend a penny on the Joystick, or on a newer one.
