lurcherchris 5 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 does anyone know about these new batteries they sound good but bit reluctant on spending £130 on one. would be good if anyone has one to hear back. Quote Link to post
doris 6 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 buy feck all from Debens, too expensive. Google it and u'll get a better deal Quote Link to post
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Have spent the last week trying to get hold of one of these Have also been looking at the possibility of getting something similar made up, but by the time you take into account prototype costs and short run manufacture then £130 each starts to look reasonable. Have had one in my paw, they are dead light. Do you know anywhere that has them in stock? If you do please PM me!!!! Quote Link to post
woodga 170 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 optics warehouse have them i think they are £117 plus postage iv had a night out with one using the blitz i gave the lamp some serious use and the battery was still going strong at the end of the night im just now waiting for mine to arrive they are so light what a difference the price is the only down side apart from that a good battery Quote Link to post
ponte 222 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 The 12v 10amp is approx half the weight off a 12v 7amp...!!.. very impressed..they dont give any indication when battery is running flat though. Eg.. lamp working fine one second , then nothing.. Quote Link to post

Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Been looking around comparing prices for Li Ion battery packs, at £130 the Deben 10A/h isn't badly priced at all by comparison to some of these ........... http://www.divingniknaks.com/salvo_batteries.php Quote Link to post
Fieldsporthunter 1,864 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 im dying to get one of these but am waiting for some feed back off them. imagine if they made a 20amp belt battery pack out of them, from what ive been told already it would be lighter than a 7amp battery. maybe next season.
