so where is the best place to buy new batteries?

 

 

Loads online mate. You can buy them direct from Yuasa same cheap stuff that Deben used, not sure if they still do iv not bought from them for years. Dont think they are the cheapest. Google dry cell battery, you can get a 17 to 20 ah for about 34 quid.

YOU MUST BE ONE STRONG MAN TO CARRY A CAR BATTERY,THEN CARRY THE RABBITS OR WHATEVER YOU CAUGHT OVER FENCES UP AND DOWN DALE,PS,THAT MAKES TWO OF US I DID THE SAME FOR YEARS,WENT THROUGH COATS WITH ACID BURNS IN FOR FUN.

£8 buy it now? i'd say it would do a job ...unless it's for use on these logo sensitive rabbits that you get now. They only like to get caught on Lightforce and Deben after you pulled up in a Subaru

15 TO 20 YEARS AGO YOU COULD USE THAT KIT NO PROBLEMS,AS MOST QUARRY WAS UNEDUCATED TO THE LAMPS LIGHT, NOW IT APEARS THAT MANY PEOPLE GO LAMPING THAT THE COUNTRYSIDE IS BUSIER AT NIGHT THAN IN THE DAY,YOU NEED A LAMP WITH A MILE BEAM JUST TO BE ABLE TO SLIP YOUR DOG ON SOMETHING THAT IS QUICKLY DISAPEARING.

i dont think it would last very long, that's a lot of candle power

I take your point Runem. I've been out of the lamping game for quite a while. It just seems that people get brainwashed into the brand names way of thinking. My point being that people think they can buy success. They'll buy the new top of the range adidas football boot and think they will play like Beckham. Or the £300 Daiwa fishing rod and beat the British Tench record. Peouople get logo obsessed. The bottom line is .. You could spend £1000 on equipment but if your a noisy toerag with a mutt of a dog on land where there arent any rabbits it isnt going to count for nothing.

 

I can out fish my mate 8 times out of 10 who has over a grands worth of fishing rod with any old piece of kit because he cant keep his gob shut, sit still or prevent himself from keeping his all to clever new fishing rig in the water for more than 10 minutes at a time.

 

People get too obsessed with logo's nowadays. Just something to keep in mind i think.
