[mattyg 1,862]

theres probably loads of stuff on here reagarding my question but i cantbe arsed to look, so here goes,

any idea how long the standard striker lasts on one of these 12v 10amp lithium batteries? thinking of ghetting a set up from ian hodge for £199, just wondered if its worth ditching the housebrick in my rucksack yet?

cheers, matt

Pay a bit extra and get the bigger battery, or a 50 watt bulb, in your lamp, you wont get a full night out otherwise(i have put a 50 watt cluson replacement bulb in mine does the job,)but do get one its brilliant

if you go to a golf supplies shop you should be able to get a second hand electric caddy battery for 10-15 quid.they would all be between 20-24 amp,a better job for powering a lamp with 100w bulb.
