hello everyone - noob to the forum but not noob to lights.
I've got a couple of short questions though that I'm not too sure about-
I've got an older Litebox, the battery is toast. The battery's specs are -
Data Safe
NPX-50 6V 50W/cell 15 min
Sealed Rechargeable Lead-Acid Battery


I'm sure the battery was fine as it left the factory but business being what it is, I'm nearly positive this battery is the least expensive (read, Lowest possible cost that meets the spec of the light).


That said, as long as I'm replacing the battery I'd like to bump it up a bit. I'd like to get a battery with more amp hours for a better run time
So, if I can find such an animal, will the stock Litebox charger do the trick or is this more of a "better batt = bigger charger" deal?


I've been to the Data-Safe site and it's pretty inscrutable except for the pdf that says the batt I have is the strongest 6V they sell.


Any smarts you're willing to share would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
