BIG_SLIM 17 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Use one battery at a time. You can add a fuse if you want but i never do Quote Link to post
Guest fence_hopper Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) as the big fella sez i never used a fuse for years and never had a problem. try get the the 17 ah battery save you having two there only about 30 quied. get the spades with like a washer type head and bolt it.

You can add a fuse if you want but i never do cheers, wont it make the battery run out faster just using one at a time? and my fuses blow about six times a year(dont know why} what would happen to the lamp and batterys without a fuse?,sorry about all the questions but i really havnt got a clue with anything like this. this is the kit iv gotMy link cheers mexlad Quote Link to post

I think you can just wire the 2 batterys together. Ive done that before but i cant remember if it actually worked or not. If you want to add a fuse just get a car fuse and cut the live wire in 2 then just wrap one piece of wire around each side of the fuse and tape it. Someone will correct me if im wrong but ive never had a problem doing any of that Quote Link to post
MaxiMuM-RisK 3 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Erm i think the fuse is there so it dont blow ur bulb, ive got mine wired straight to the lamp never had a prob i just carry spare bulbs and a few other bits and bobs Quote Link to post
mexlad 189 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 had a clulite for a season or two alright for the odd bunny an new starters iv had it about four years now and its been nothing but trouble but there only cheap,time for an upgrade i think now iv got permission.
