Installation of Stella Cont‘d
Our 2-cell pack uses a rubber strap to stretch around tube, holding the battery securely.
Wrap the strap around the tube, under the battery, and finally over the locking post. For
bicycles with smaller diameter tubes, we’ve provided a space for you to tuck the tail of the
strap between the battery and frame.
When routing the plug, you may choose to loosely coil the excess cable
around the frame (fig 14). Make sure the cable has enough slack to move
freely when your handlebar is turned in the furthest position (run the
cable first over the handlebar, then back to the battery, see illustration).
This will prevent damaging your light head in a crash.
Body mounted battery:
The battery pack is designed to be carried in a jersey pocket or hydration pack.
Hint: running the power cord through one of the back vents of your helmet before
connecting it to your battery will keep the cord from sliding from side to side.
CAUTION: – NEVER attach a helmet mounted light to a frame mounted battery, or
a frame mounted light to a body mounted battery.
The 2-cell battery that ships with the Stella 300 comes with a removable mounting clip
to improve comfort in your jersey pocket of hydration pack.
Plugging Stella into the Battery
Plug the light head cable into the socket on
top of the battery by aligning the cable’s
arrow to the battery’s orientation mark (a dot,
groove, or arrow – fig 15). Due to the high
quality seal of our connector, occasionally
air compressed within the battery socket can
push the
cable back out. Make sure the
socket has “burped”
this air for the reliable,
trouble free connection Light & Motion lights
are known for.
