Does anybody have any experience running a Vagabond Lithium Extreme with a 900 series Norman pack? Specifically the D12 or D24 pack? I have several of both and it'd be a dream to use them in places without electricity available. I would just buy a VLE and test it, but I don't want to ruin my pack. They are crazy expensive to fix.

There should not be a problem with using these. If the packs can tolerate a brown out, then they should work. If they can tolerate a sudden power loss, then they should survive a test (i.e. using a power strip power switch, or a breaker tripping).

You can contact Norman and ask how low of a voltage the packs can tolerate before the processor crashes.

One thing to note, the light may be able to tolerate the voltage drop, but an installed radio receiver may not.

Thank you for your reply. Very helpful.
