Cosd Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I use a 1.2amp battery on my turbo flapper and lasts all day. Always carry a spare in the car but have never used it to date. Very small and light to carry. Cos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 i use a 1.2 and it dont last a hour for some reason Have the battery checked out. I use Panasonic batteries (which I was selling here some time back) and mine do last a full day. I think since I got it I've swapped batteries once when the flapper slowed ever so slightly.

stu nesling Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) i use a 3ah yuasa batt on my AA decoys turbo flapper and it will last 2 full session. helps keep the weight down too, if you have to walk 7ah batt will run my homemade rotor with 10ft span and 2 real birds on it for 4 hrs. and thats with an old wiper motor on it. seriously check the batt/charger or the flapper as something is wrong.

dan-250 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I have a small motorbike battery for mine, it's an 11a/h not very heavy cost about £30 tho and really it's overkill. I had it on in the garden all day and it never showed as if it was dying or slowing. That's an aa decoys flapper with the intermittent timer on.

finreid Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 just bought a 7ah from aa decoys for a tenner, specifically for the flapper, don't want to get caught short with a smaller one, and for only and extra 2 quid seemed a no brainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprackles Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Using the tiny one and charge it with a trickle charger to avoid cooking it. With shoot warehouses variable timer I get a ful day out of my turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Turboflappers use hardly any electric, one of the benefits is not having to carry a ruddy great battery. My tiny battery is only 1.3amp and has never run flat yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
