staffpeg 217 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Put a wanted ad on the for sale section & you'll get some offers mate ? Quote Link to post
Brigzy 1,298 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Depends what you want; a 12a 12v sealed lead acid/gel will do you for a couple of hours. Not heavy and fairly reliable. 17a 12v is a fair bit heavier, but a young fit lad should manage one no bother ! LOL ! The lithiums are far lighter, but are they worth all that money if you only want a couple of hours out lamping ? 1 Quote Link to post
Kemperz21 65 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Think I'll have to save up ;-) the thing that's putting me off is can I justify it if I had land that could could do big numbers and weight was an issue then yep id have 1 but where I live there are not big numbers anywhere 10 is good 20 is great an 30 is unheard of in my area and with the floods this year I'm not thinking of massive numbers anywhere in my county Quote Link to post

Hot Meat 3,109 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 14 amp I think it is will last you most of a night if you ain't scared of dark mate 2 Quote Link to post
