Iv got 2 12v 7ah ones but made by a different company. I charge them up with a 12v 6ah car charger, it is working fine but for how long i dont know? I get about 2-3 hours lamping out of one useing a 55w bulb Hope this helps

like paid, i never had a fuse, cause i was too tight to buy a deben battery pack! the problem with mine had allways been the wiring, it would break in the outer cable! i must have fixed it 15 times, so i completely rewired the thing, i still dont completely trust the thing, but its been allright so far1
