I'm chasing a half decent battery pack and charger for the solar storm x2 light.
Will be good to hear what you use.

I'm sure Smudge at MTB Batteries does kit for these.

Drop him an email.

What's wrong with the one that came with it?
Yes I am aware of the stories of unattended chargers going pfft and also of batteries and chargers failing.
I've had no problems in over a year with my Cree XML T6 lamp and battery but thinking about getting a solarstorm x2 for the helmet and just wondered if there was a genuine reason for change with the x2's in particular?

The charger that came with my Solarstorm X2 has a CE mark and a UL Listed mark too. There is absolutely no way it is UL Listed, and I wouldn't plug it in in my house. Luckily I have a suitable charger that came with my V2 XML from mtbbatteries. The Solarstorm X2 battery is adequate, but only that.

I got the Solarstorm battery holder and use quality protected cells and a proper smart charger, my run time has doubled and it's as safe as you get.
