RIDE Smarter! Caring for Your Bicycle Lights During Autumn and Winter – And Why the Endurance+ is the Ultimate Choice For Those Autumn And Winter Conditions
Winter is tough on most things. Including cyclists and their cycling equipment. As the weather turns harsher, cyclists face unique challenges during autumn and winter rides. One of the most important pieces of equipment in these darker, wetter months is a reliable bicycle light. Not only does a good bicycle light help you see and be seen, but caring for your light properly ensures it performs well whenever you need it most.
Let’s take a closer look on how to take care of your bicycle light in colder seasons—and why the Extreme Lights Endurance+ Bicycle Light is the perfect companion for long, demanding rides all year round.
Autumn and Winter Bike Light Care Tips
Keep Your Battery Healthy
Charge Regularly: Avoid letting the battery fully discharge. Recharge after every few rides, and especially before storage.
Top-Up Charges: If storing the light for a few weeks, charge it every 2–3 months to preserve battery life.
Store in Mild Temperatures: Avoid exposing the battery to freezing temperatures for extended periods. Keep it indoors when not in use.
Clean After Wet Rides
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away any mud, road grime, or salt.
Dry thoroughly in a warm, ventilated space before storing—do not use a heater or direct heat source.
Inspect Before Each Ride
Check the lens and casing for any cracks or damage.
Make sure the beam and modes are functioning properly and the battery level indicator is visible and accurate.
Disconnect and Store Properly
Disconnect the battery pack from the light head during long periods of non-use to prevent accidental drainage.
Store all components in a dry place to prevent corrosion or moisture damage.
