L&M LiIon ARC HID

[Birddog]

I can buy a lightly used L&M Li Ion ARC for $250. I'm concerned that I may be buying a system in which the battery is about shot as it was purchased in '05 and according to what I've read, Li Ion go bad in about three years whether you use them or not. At L&M they want way N of $200 for replacements, this might be a deal killer. Anybody have real world experience with this. Is there another place to get replacement batteries for something less? Any and all input is welcome re. the L&M Li Ion ARC HID system.

Have you considered the Cygolite TridenX, it is as bright as HID, but much more rugged, and reaches 100% lighting in a split second, no warmup needed.

Or even the TriNewt by Niterider.

Well, if you MUST know, there were only two ever made and the previous owners were KBG. Buy it now, it has true USSR sentimental value if not the originally intended stellar functionality.:kiss:
