russ91 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hi guys I'm toyying with the idea of getting the new 22ah deben lithium ion battery pack as my lead batteries are getting tiered now but are they worth the money? 50% of my lamping is on foot as we just cnt get a 4x4 on there so really don't know if to spend the £220 on a batterie. Any thoughts guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegasus bridge Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 in a word - yes! the weight difference is amazing ; it will feel like not carrying anything if you are used to lumping a lead acid battery around, also the led power level light on the battery is a good feature. they also dont slowly drop off in power like lead-acid. I had a similar thought process - as much of my land is not really driveable so most lamping was done on foot. my only gripe was the cable/plug arrangement - but see my other thread ( http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/158149-deben-lithium-lamping-battery/page__p__1343852__fromsearch__1#entry1343852 ) - they look like they have sorted this now (i will confirm this when it arrives) the biggest problem i had was getting over the mental block of forking out that much for a battery.

ellebarto Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I agree. Its the mental block of spending that kind of money but mine fits in most of the pockets of my jackets or webbing belts and you dont know you have it with you. Simpliest but best thing Ive bought this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 It's the same as everything-if an item is used regularly then it's worth the money. I have the Lithium ION 12v 22ah battery.You ask is it worth the money?My answer is-it's worth every penny!! Go get it it's superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Iv'e got one and would buy another if this one went kaput. Iv'e used the heavy type battery, never again. Edited October 6, 2011 by samboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
