I am sure someone somewhere is devising a tracking system to report on battery life, etc. and it only weighs three pounds and costs $200.
When I used to do a lot of night riding (in the winter months), I used a Dinotte headlight and tail light.
I ran both from a single battery pack via the "Y-cable" they sell.
So if the battery pack got low, the headlight would signal it, then I would stop and swap the battery with a fresh spare.
