Battery Question


Recommended Posts

It means the battery will last 44hrs if something pulling 1amp of power is running off it.

 

A 17amp hour battery will run my magnet all day a 44 a/h one will be no use unless you can get everywhere you want to shoot via 4x4 or something as it will be far to heavy to carry

A car battery is not designed to withstand the discharge/recharge routine and will not last long. I know because I made the mistake of using one on a clay trap, many years ago. Ended up with the correct size leisure battery which as far as I know, is still going.

Absolutely spot on!, car batteries are not made for deep cycle and won't last long.

He could do what I used to do. Drive up to the shooting position, take the battery off the car to use, then put it back on and drive off when finished.

I bought a 41ah battery from halfords, Its small, fairly light weight with handle, runs magnet for at least 2 long days. Recharge it on trickle over night. Works a treat

Listen to this man he is talking sense , bar the buying from halfrauds but, trickle chargers all the way

Thanks for all replys lads, im now sorted. Went to scrappie today and picked up a nearly new one for £12+ £2.40 vat, a Billy bargain :good:

Good man now to euro car parts for the £15 trickle charger !
