Newlamper 4 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hi lads Wanna keep it short. I'm a spark. Was stripping out a job and got a battery out an alarm panel, it's a lead np7 - 12, 12v, 7 Ah. Question is how long would it last on a night out with a million candle power lamp? Any good or shite?

chartpolski 23,110 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I used to use 7 ah batteries. One on the lamp and one as a spare. They will last a couple of hours lamping. Cheers. Quote Link to post
BrianSteven72 369 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 i used to use 2 12v 8amp batterys wired together with a stricker 170 and if i was out all night they would start to go flat at the end of the night so i would think a 7 amp would not last that long on a million candle power !

gaza 508 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Does anyone know where I can get cheap 12 v 10ah or 12ah batteries online? I used to get them from rapidonline.com but the termals are quite weak and have snapped. Thanks Quote Link to post

Millet 4,497 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 It's all depend's on how much game you are chasing on the chosen night..on average if you are not chasing load's i would say a 3 to 4hr session is about right.. Quote Link to post
nighteyes 275 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 a light force 140 50 watt bulb will use about 3-4 amps an hour roughly Quote Link to post
tote 854 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 A few years back I used a 7 amp battery with a Cluson lazerlight [50 watt bulb], regularily got 3 hours out of it but as has been said it depends how much you are using it when your out. Quote Link to post
