Lithium too pricey then get a sealed lead acid 17 amp...Last hours on a 100w bulb.

Put a wanted ad on the for sale section & you'll get some offers mate ?

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 ?

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

If I couldn't afford a lithium now I'd start day walking lol fook going back to heavy batteries lol

14 amp I think it is will last you most of a night if you ain't scared of dark mate
