Exposure Support Cell

[sean_iow]

I've just bought a support cell (3.1mAh) to extend the run time of my Joystick. It comes with a bracket and strap to attach it to the helmet. In the back of my mind I'm sure I've seen one clipped directly to the light. Does anyone know if the Exposure CC clip fits the support cell. One of these

I haven't been able to find the answer on the web. I know I could phone Exposure but my boss might hear me whereas typing this looks like I'm working

That looks like the clip supplied with the White Eye light, so I'm fairly certain it'll hold the battery to the light.

Pretty sure the clip goes on a Joystick yes.

However, sneaky 24 hour racer trick ahoy, Velcro loop through the back of your helmet - put the support cell in this. Attach to light.

Lowers the point mass at the top of your helmet and makes it slightly less prone to bobbling around on your head. Also means a pit crew can just swap out your helmet with light and extended battery attached, but that's probably not needed.

They are usually pretty good at responding to emails.

That's a good suggestion. I didn't want to use the supplied velcro strap through a vent on the top as it would be under the padding that sits on my head but at the back of the helmet it would be on a bit that is clear of my head and as you say also less prone to bobbing by keeping the weight lower

Kersactly.

One of the early tips I had passed on to me when I started racing longer things.

I bought a couple of Support Cells a while back, the bracket and strap sit on the back of a helmet pretty well, so you shouldn't just have to velcro through a vent. Mine have either gone on the back of my helmet to hook to a Joystick or strapped round my stem to clip into an Equinox on the bars.

Depends on the size of your support cell. Mine is 2 or 3 times the diameter of a joystick which wouldn't fit. I usually run it from my backpack.

Anyone tried the three-cell battery from mtbbatteries as an alternative to the genuine Exposure support cell? Obviously heavier but does it give acomparable weight/output ratio? And would it be overkill for using a Joystick through a long night?

Sorry for the thread hijack.

I have one. They will do it with a lead as long as you want so I got a long one to put the weight in a jersey pocket or pack.

Works well. Good customer service

I've got an Exposure support cell, the clip & velcro straps that it came with are fine, although i think it depends on your helmet as to how well it'll fix..

Best to put it at the back & bottom of your helmet as this is usually spaced away from your head, so the straps are not an issue..
