17AH fine. Its large enough to allow you to lamp all night with the blitz and not to big to weigh you down.

put a 50 watt bulb in the blitz mate,it makes no difference to the beam(people who havent tried it will disagree) and you get longer from your batteries.my brother was on the back of the van friday night with a 14amp belt pack on and he got a good 4 to 4 1/2 hours with it,the lamp is on most of the time on the back of the van,so if your walking obviously you will get longer in time.but it all depends on how long your gonna be out.

 

ps i always discharge my batteries fully after a nights lamping before recharging.

Thats interesting, i was always told to charge as soon as i get home. How does that help HBG?

Ill try the 50watt as my lamp does go yellow with the 100wt before the end of the night.

it depends on the type of battery you use moll,

some batteries (like motorcycle batteries) aren't designed to go flat so they should be kept fully charged, others (Battery power tools etc) develop a "memory", if they are partially discharged regularly they start to react as if they were flat before they really are (if that makes any sence?)

therefore these types of battery should be fully discharged before each recharge,

Understand that, thank you.

Mine are the original batteries with the lightforce....what should i do with them?

i was told this years ago,supposed to give them a full charge(your advised to do it with your mobile to now and again),i just screw the front off and leave the lamp on then charge it in the morning.is it a blitz you use moll?as i dont know what the beam will be like with the 50 watt in a lance or striker.
