My SO has just started cycling in to work...Im trying to sort her out with a helmet light to supplement her canal path commute - I have an old battery stick and one of the lights.

Just wondering if anyone has any others they wanted to sell?

Cheers

i have several vista chargers and a old vista lead acid battery and a VL410 maybe.

Quite heavy and i've no idea of the quality working order of any of the parts, but you're welcome to the lot.

collected from Sheffield or Derby

I leant my VL430s and Vista Lite lead acid battery to a mate years back - it caught fire. "Buyer" beware!!

Not one of the battery sticks - it was a 5kg thing in a canvas bag.
I wouldn't have thought the battery sticks would have much life left in them though? How far is her commute?

I have a stick you can have. All other bits are dead/lost. I'm in kent, crawley and basingstoke.

No cash wanted. Be good to know someone wants it.

I've got almost the whole set. The batteries were knackered but I used my Lupine smart charger to cycle them a few times and that seems to have helped.
