nothing wrong with a small car battary,mines 32 amp hr last all night and keeps me fit,bit much after a couple of hares and rabbits to carry with it though,was thinking of splashing out on new one.anyony know of a good sterdy long lasting make that doesnt cost the earth??

 

There was a guy at the Scottish game fair last week selling lamping batteries at a fraction of the price you pay in shops...I'm at work at the mo I'll put up his addy and phone number when I get home mate.

hi mate you must have a strong back to be humping that battery around .i use a blits and a 17 amp

[victor 10]

WHats the best lamp in your opinion, Lightforce and clulite / cluson seem to be the main ones?

[victor 10]

light force, proven. but hey, ive only used one once. but it was perfect.

this is my lamping set up 24amp 12volt golf caddy batt a blitz lamp an a diving bottle harness i modified to carry my batt

Thats a great idea.Its much easier in that position.Ive tried diffrent rucksacks but they usually come undone with the wieght.Are those harnesses expensive and where would you get them?

aye my mate bought one and it lasted one charge

thats the problem iv had is finding equipment you can drag through muddy wet ditches and blackthorn hedges in the shittyest of nights without it falling to bits.dont even bother with debon,they,r simply out to catch the hunter.that kind of you undisputed but im 10hours drive from scotland,any other ideas,?

 

try ebay, just type in the voltage and number of amp/hrs you want and there they are. i got one for a tiny logun lamp i use on the airgun and its been perfect so far

we used to carry a car battery round all night when we lamped sometimes 7 days a week at 15 was the only thing we could find that would hold a charge and give a decent enough beem all night and we would carry roe back and bags of rabbits so if you are willing to carry it it does the job . Last battery's i was using was motorbike ones cant remember what ones got them of an old bike at my mates scrapies done the trick for a while then lost me licence so lamping has gone out the window as there aint anything about my area well least not in walking distance .

Just a thought? Should we not be using Ian Hodge Fieldsports for our equipment as his advertisments support our site.

what that like when your sitting in the car/van seat? any good?

 

thought about the harness with big battery, but i dont think it suits my style of lamping

[Guest Rabbiteer]

As i think I stated earlier in this thread.

 

Get a volt/amp meter and go to the scrappies

 

I am buying 17, 20 and 22amp hour batterries for 50p a go at the moment. I select all the batterries that I think are good enough. Then I test them.

 

First with the volt/amp meter to see if they have any charge.

 

Those that do, move on to the next test. With the charge thats in them will they light up a 55w bulb, if they do I buy them.

 

I charge them on a three stage charger over night and measure the voltage of them at each stage.

 

I connect a 55w bulb and time the discharge so I can get an idea of the capacity of the battery. Any battery that lasts over 4hrs constant illumination, I mark up and keep.

 

Not bad for 50p. I am sitting next to a pile of the feckers and dish them out at a fiver a time to people I visit.

 

£1.50's worth of batterries....................2x 17ah, 1x 20ah.

 

 

 

All the best,

If your down south and you want some cheap batteries give me a Pm.
