Guest vin Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hello all Time for a new subject ... i have covered the lamps... so nows time for the Battery section to be checked out. I have tried a few combos.. 12v 10 -20AH lead batteries etc etc.. also the deben belt pack = 2 x 6V on a belt i have heard the Deben lithium is good..? Does anyone use it yet...? how long does it last with a 100w striker type lamp ? Im looking into the Lithium battery packs etc etc but not paying the price Deben are charging..so when i get you a price on one thats the same as the Deben one ,but cheaper ! that will be my next post.. I have already checked a few places out and im waiting for some prices on a suitable Lithium set up...and they will be a lot cheaper than the ones i,ve seen so far. Theres a few cheap ones around ebay etc etc but there not very good or powerfull enough to last long. ATVB vin Quote Link to post

stormrider8 59 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 All the lithium stuff is a big price at the moment, battery drivers etc, but the price will come down. The good old 20ah dry cell will do me till the price drops. Quote Link to post

ATVB vin use a good old car battery its lasts all night and as long as you use a back pack so you have 2 shoulder straps you dont really feel the weight old fashioned but it works Quote Link to post
