Niterider Classic give-away, GONE!

Hi All,

I've got an old Niterider Classic lighting system that the NiMH battery won't charge probably because the smart charger can't detect the minimum voltage on the battery to start charging.

It's a complete system with top-tube mounted battery pack, handlebar quick release mount, extra bulbs and Batteryspace Smart Charger.

Anyone with the knowledge and means could either restore the battery or replace it with a new one. Since I'm not using it anymore, I'd be glad to ship it to the first person who wants it. I just ask that you cover shipping.

Sorry, I don't know why the pictures came out rotated the wrong way.

Hey, I'd take this to save it from the e-waste and try modding it, but if anyone else chimes in that has a real burning desire to take it on, I'll gladly step aside.

Mighty kind of you to think of the community like this.

I rebuilt a battery for a nightsun halogen helmet light. It was pretty simple, actually. You can buy matched sub-c cells with solder tabs online. You just solder them in series and get some shrink wrap from the hobby store. It's like a brand new light. I think I spent around $35-$40 for new cells.

I also started using the battery with a Nightsun commuter special which was bolted to handlebars. Worked great. Then I started coming on here and I get bit by the LED bug. The Magicshine 808E with a remote from action led is vastly superior to the Nighsun and Turbocat I was using 15 years ago. I don't know what to do with all that old stuff.

You should be able to build a new battery no problem and then lend it out to a buddy who has never gone on nightrides.
