I ordered a battery pack for my dive light, recieved it promptly, everything is just as I ordered it. They have the broadest selection of battery related items of any one I have found, and a lot of great information on the website. The website could use a going over by someone more proficient in english grammar though. Good experience, overall.

I've used this product in both the headlight and running lights of my bike lighting system.
Headlight
My primary light is a 30W Philips EnergyAdvantage (24 degree narrow flood) MR16 in an Optronics housing, driven by a 14.4V NiMH battery (4200mAh) from batteryspace.com.
Battery is mounted in a CageRocket, with hole drilled in the side for a waterproof switch from batteryspace. Connectors are the very rugged "waterproof" ones from batteryspace. Unlike my v1.0 homebrew light project, which used quick-and-dirty but ugly crimp connectors, all connections on my v2.0 are soldered and shrinkwrapped.
I've been using my running lights for a couple years now and they're working out great. I have four Piranha automotive LED side marker lights on my bike: an amber one on each fork leg, and a red one on each seatstay. Each of these is about 2" long, contains two emitters, is very bright and consumes around 1/2 watt.
I have four more of these units (in addition to $20 worth of DOT reflective tape) on my child's Chariot Sidecarrier trailer, with connectors that let me tap the trailer into the bike's running lights whenever I'm using it.
Driven by a little 2000mAh 12V pack from batteryspace that I've had for a couple of years (current model is 2200mAh), this system has performed flawlessly for nearly 2 years of year-round (yes, including summer) commuting. I'm not using a switch, since that's been a failure point for me in the past: I just plug the running lights in at the beginning of a ride, and unplug them at my destination.
