Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Has anyone tried charging these while being out from one of those lithium power banks for charging phones as they are around 8000 mah around 7-8 amp as an idea of a quick charge if on a long night out and the inevitable happens They charge off 8v mate and the lithium packs are 12v unless you can get them with the correct output or wire the charger to the battery somehow. I aren't sure. You can charge them from the vehicle though if travelling from one place to another etc. Quote Link to post
jiggy 3,209 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 The vehicle would be 12v so is there a transformer built into the vehicle charger to take it down to 8v if so would the same principle not work with a 12v lithium power bank Quote Link to post

Lol i dont know either but if you can charge a mobile phone which is 3.7v in a car thats 12v or from 220v mains id imagine the transformer is built into the charger or cigarette socket. I thought you said you studied electronics or were you asleep for that bit. Lol your the expert on this topic lets have some answers.... Only joking mate... Quote Link to post

That's all well and good if you can plug the charger (where as you correctly say the transformer is) into the battery packs. But for most of them... You cannot. Like I said above the Deben ones come with a cigarette female end so that might work. But the fella was asking about mobile phone battery packs. 1 Quote Link to post

HPR 1,160 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Can you also run these off a battery pack or can it only be run off the battery in the handle . Also is it 1 hour continues use or on and off use . Cheers Quote Link to post

Also is it 1 hour continues use or on and off use . Cheers Not sure about your first question mate. If the route what Jiggy is going down is a feasible option then you can run them off a Deben battery but i don't know the capabilities of the PCB, wires, LEDs etc so I'm just gonna use it as intended. It's an hour continuous use. Quote Link to post
HPR 1,160 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Ok mate cheers Quote Link to post
jiggy 3,209 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Anybody know roughly how long a deben 22amp lithium battery pack will last before its spent and wont take a recharge. I seen them at a fair yesterday but at 335 euro just for battery without lamp id be expecting them to last. Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I charged my lithium loads m still living. Someone mention about drilling a 3-4 inch hole in centre of filter and spraying it to get rid of glare on lamps lol don't waste a perfectly good filter as it dims the beam and doesn't cut glare total shit idea, thanks to whoever the genius was a while ago lmao Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,424 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I think I read something about a 20 odd ml hole in the centre of a filter like the clulite ones have? Quote Link to post
