rotary power source.....battery

[heritage 202]

It seems that most people now carry more gear than ever when out for a day on the pigeons,so much so that the weight of the kit has to be a consideration when walking....So my question is aimed at all those lampers who enjoy a spot of decoying or those pigeon shooters that that partake in the occasional nights lamping, have you considered using the same battery for both disciplines ?? the battery im thinking of using is the new deben lithium ion,has anyone else considered doing this ? how did you find the battery performed compared to the usual dry cell ?...atb

I've used mine on a few occasions when the lead acid batteries have died when using a flapper/rotary, works no problem.

i use the batteries off golf trolleys from caddy boy they are light weight and small and last enough for a session on the pigeons
