mexlad 189 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 yes mate i dont even know if they can be rigged up for lamping though lol Quote Link to post
mackem 26,260 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 whos going to be first to buy one and try?? Go onto alibaba or a similar trading site,search the batteries,a lot of these factories only deal in 100+ or 1000+ maybe even 10,000+ units BUT will be willing to send out samples,I used to do the same sort of thing when I first started buying hydro-tents for sale,used to get them from China cheap as chips and add £40-50 quid on top,that e-bay seller is based in Honkers,my money says he is buying the batteries from across the border in the SEZ and sticking his bung on top,try and get a sample from a factory,who knows...........???

chartpolski 23,215 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Isn't a milli amp 1000th of an amp; so 18,000 milli amp/hr should be the same as 18 amp/hr, I think !! LOL !! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post
Guest vin Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 amps and milliamps..big difference..stick with Deben..I emailed a few of these sites before and they said they wouldnt recommend them for our uses..they wont last like the deben kits. there was some red units the other day on a thread that looked more sturdy than these ones..they might have been up to the job..but still were only short arc power discharge or summat..not made for long steady consistant discharge... i was gonna buy one of these cheap units off fleebay but decided to not bother taking the risk of wasting any money .. so far im very happy with the deben 14 amp.

If you ever open up a Deben lithium battery it looks pretty similar to the one in the link, only difference the deben has a sturdy outer case, but im sure you could put something together yourself to protect the cells.
