What do you do when your battery dies? Just got home? Switch off and carry on with the ride? Look embarrassed?

or go out and buy a bigger battery

Change batteries, right now we are swapping out (yay, finally a use for the cap, hot swapping) as one is rather dodgy...

My battery never ran out during a ride

I don't play bass-heavy music, and I don't play full volume either (to spare the ears of those cycling right next to me) so I can go for five hours

My legs will have given up first !

get class D amps. they're lighter and twice as efficient too... win win. they aren't as sculpted or colorful etc. as a lot A/B amps if you like to display your gear, but they sound really good. i love my panasonic reciever. it walks all over my old NAD & onkyos for clarity & ease.

if you know your run time, just plan ahead & start late. 7 hours is a pretty long time. i'm planning on maybe 4-5 hour runs if i can get that much out of my battery & amps
