The bike shop have just gotten my race maxx light in stock which I'm picking up tomorrow, for the 24/12.

How long for the initial charge? If it's more than 8 hours I could be in trouble - and I don't fancy borking them before I've even used them.

You can't really overcharge them (that I've found). And I don't think there is an initial charge thing. I think its that you charge it for 3 hours, it will give you 3 hours of run time, charge it for 2, it will give you 2, etc. etc.

Excellent - I was a bit worried as I'm picking it up last thing wednesday night and then catching the fishguard ferry first thing thursday so was a little bit "mmmmhh".

Cheers!

Read the manual when you get it, and check.

A 2010 Race takes 8 hours to fully charge or 6 hours for 90% charge.

Oh yeah, that makes sense actually, I've been thinking in terms of my joystick, but the race has got double the batteries, so double the times.

Going to check the manual - I just wanted a heads up on if I needed to make a break from work for 2 hours to grab the lights and then stick them on charge, or if just overnight will do.

Looks like just overnight will do.

Cheers all.

i think they come charged.

ask exposure - not us.

edit: exposure are charging lights at the race - so go by and ask them if it needs charging.
