NiteRider Replacement Batteries
 
NiMH 13.2/12 volt Flat Battery NiMH 13.2/12 volt Bottle Battery
HID Flat Pack Battery NiMH Bottle Battery
   
Batteries Made Easy:
  • NiteRider produces several batteries that are used on current sytems or can be easily adapted for use on older, pre 2002 systems.
  • All current NiteRider batteries use SurLok cable connectors. However, NiteRider produces three adapter cables that will allow you to match a new battery to older, pre-2002, lamp heads.
  • Most NiteRider batteries use Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells for lighter weight, longer burn times and faster charges. You may use these with older Nickel-Cadmium (NiCad) lights but you must use a newer NiMH charger. We also have NiCad batteries for older, NiCad lights.
  • NiteRider NiMH 13.2/12 Volt batteries come in two sizes; Flat Pack or Bottle cage mounted. The Flat Pack does not have a micro chip built into it. The Flat pack comes with all NiteRider HID lights but can also be used with the Classic Plus light. The Bottle batteries come in two models and only in 13.2/12 volts. One model has a micro chip built into it and the other model does not.
  • Newer digital Lights require a "Smart" battery which has a micro chip built into it.
  • Older digital and all non-digital lights can use a "Smart" battery or a standard battery which does not have a micro chip built in to it.
  • Confused about whether or not you need a "Smart" battery for your digital light? Check your old battery. If it says "Smart" on it, you need a "Smart" battery. If it does not say "Smart" a regular battery will work fine. If you have a 6 volt, single headlamp system check the battery cable tip. Smart batteries have a three conductor tip with a black band. Normal batteries have a two conductor tip that is black on the end. See our adapter cable photos for pictures of a two conducter tip, Model 6373 and a three conductor tip, model 6467.
  • NiteRider 6 volt batteries are available in the Multi-Mount or Flat Pack style. Each style comes in two models. One has a micro chip built into it and is a "Smart" battery. The other lacks a micro chip and is considered a standard battery.

  • We suggest using the 3.5 Hour or 5 hour Micro-Brute charger for "Smart" batteries and the standard 9 hour NiMH charger for standard, no micro chip, batteries. The 3.5 Hour and 5 Hour chargers will charge both "Smart" or standard NIMH batteries. The 9 hour charger only works with standard 6 volt, NiMH batteries.
  • We have in stock a few of the very difficult to find NiteRider NiCad batteries with pre-2002 connectors. NiCad batteries may be charged with a NiteRider NiCad, 3.5 Hour or 5 Hour MicroBrute charger.
  • Professional repairs, warranty service and help with technical questions is available from NiteRider in San Diego, California. Call NiteRider at (858) 268-9316, email them at Bike@NiteRider.com or visit them at NiteRider.com by clicking on the underlined text .

SurLok Connectors...
NiteRider redesigned their cable, light and battery connectors in 2002. They simplified the design so the same connectors may be used with 6 and 12 volt systems. However the new SurLok connectors are NOT compatible with pre-2002 batteries, lights or chargers without an adapter cable.
Both old and the new SurLok connectors are pictured below.

Branford Bike Online Catalog - Archival Edition
brought to you by the former owner of Branford Bike, Tim Brockett via his personal web site, TimsLife.Com
This is an archival edition of the Branford Bike web site from February 2006. Complete with product photos, prices, how to articles and technical specifications it is a treasure trove of accurate, detailed and historical information.

In July of 2006 Branford Bike was incinerated by a huge forest fire. No one was hurt but the inventory and buildings were completely destroyed. I witnessed the fire and stayed until the trees were burning in my driveway. At that point I hiked from Branford Bike, through the smoke and embers, down the mountain to my Jeep 3 miles away. I took photos and wrote about the harrowing experience so everyone could see what I saw. My insurance was generous and I later rebuilt my home and started another business selling books. Read the story here.

Branford Bike was a huge part of my life for over 30 years; June 1976 to July 2006. I enjoyed those years tremendously and Branford Bike was often a labor of love. I hope you enjoy browsing through the archival catalog. If your visit brings back pleasant memories please share them with me via e-mail at timbrockett@gmail.com .

If you find any printed Branford Bike catalogs, advertisments or flyers please scan them as a PDF and email. Or you may mail them via US Post to Tim Brockett, PO Box 1711, Emigrant, MT 59027. Eventually I will post them in a Memorabilia catalog section.

Many Thanks and Best Wishes,
Tim Brockett
