3.3 Charging the Lights

Both the headlight and taillight are USB-C rechargeable. A full charge takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours for the headlight and ensures long-lasting performance.

  3. The indicator light will show charging status (e.g., red for charging, green for fully charged).
  4. Once fully charged, disconnect the cable and ensure the rubber flap is securely closed to maintain water resistance.
