Battery Type: An internal battery that is recharged via USB.

Modes, Output and Runtime: There are 8 modes to choose from with the lowest offering up 15 lumens and the longest runtime of a claimed 20 hours. The max setting puts out 500 lumens and you can expect about an hour of usage out of that.

Charging Method and Time: Charged via USB cable (included). Recharge time approx 2:30 hours.

Mount Type: Bar mounted via a stretchy rubber strap. Not compatible with Lezyne's aftermarket mounts.

What's in The Box: 500XL unit, stretchy rubber mounting strap, and USB recharging cable.

Pros: Simple, no-fuss design is easy to mount quickly. USB recharging.

Cons: Not powerful enough for 'proper' mountain biking at night, not compatible with other mounting types so you'll have to make the strap work for you.
