welshwarrior Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I'm out decoying and my battery on the magnet has run out after 1 hrs. So where do I buy a new one after another 7 Ah one I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redditch Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Amazon, just search for alarm batteries, they are the same, sealed lead gel, (or nicad/NIMH if you´re feeling rich ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Webber is a safe bet - or go into your local electical wholesaler and ask for an alarm battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 or screwfix are easy, £18 for their 7ah that usually runs for 2.5 hours or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So where do I buy a new one after another 7 Ah one I think A safe bet is to not buy another 7Ah one. Invest in a slightly bigger one, as they last 3 hours tops. Edited August 8, 2011 by Billy.

The Essex Hunter Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 A safe bet is to not buy another 7Ah one. Invest in a slightly bigger one, as they last 3 hours tops. Get 2, leave one in the car,then take back your shot birds (if you have any )pick up some more shells and the next battery...... TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

activeviii Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 toolstaion are cheaper than screwfix. a 7amp barrtey will give me around 8 hours on the rorary which is fine in winter but summer i use a 12 amp and get more than enough time out of it.

Blunderbuss Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 If you're a real cheapskate, a "friend" told me that if you visit your local council recycling centre you can pick em up for nowt. They usally have a battery point and its often full of 12v alarm back up batteries, most of which work fine after a charge. My "friend" is a bit of a *****, I would never condone such cheap skatery........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I use 12V 7amp batteries and get an easy 6-8 hours on the rotary, using hypaflaps does make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
