I replaced it with this battery pack from Amazon. Is there something better I should be getting? I just researched what was compatible.

This very well may have been my friends, as we usually extend our sessions after the sun goes down.

We have a couple of these headlamps. Cheap, and super bright. They have a zoom function so you can concentrate the light as needed:

Then we use these as floodlights. Not super durable, but very bright and cheap, and the brightness is adjustable via dial.

Two is enough to light up anything but really big problems. We combine those with the headlamps and have been able to light up things like High Plains Drifter enough to get good video in the middle of the night.

Trust me, this is what you want. Most of the people who have climbed with us end up asking me later what lights we were using so they can buy some for themselves.

I returned couple of them before settling for this one:

It gives about 30min. Bottom line the 6k pro battery sucks both the original and aftermarket.
