delburt0 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Very debatable question how long does your battery last on your rotarys ie 7amh 4 hrs etc with dead birds , I no the weight of the bird makes a big difference and wind conditions but just add the size of battery what type of bird, foam. Dead etc and how long. Only curious as to different views as I am picking my rotary up tommorow and are wanting to no battery usages and what to expect in different conditions atb delburt0.

woodpigeon100 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 HI I can't get a link on but if you copy this into ebay it will save sorting through the hundreds that are on there - High quality New DC 12V Portable 9800mAh Li-ion Super Rechargeable Battery PackI've charged / discharged them over forty times now and they still work perfectly - I always worry a bit about stuff from Mao's lot but I've never actualy had a problem touch wood. Do be aware that they take longer to charge than lead acid - a full charge is about 16 hours. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 may give a couple of those a go, but worth bearing in mind for those who fancy doing it,do make sure you wire them in PARALLEL not in SERIES or you may have a bit of bother, and do make sure the batteries have the same characteristics, and the cable to the flapper or magnet can handle the amps.

delburt0 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Ill just wait while one goes flat to change it , I will have been sat for 7 hrs stretchin my legs might be good , not like I will have been out of the hide to pick any birds up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Stupid question but is it just a case of cutting off the plug and splitting the cable to wire these lithium battery's? Thought I read somewhere on here that magnets wouldn't run on them? Or is that just big lamps?? Edited April 28, 2013 by JBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 how long a battery will last depends on to many things. what motor, dead bird, hyper flap, foam wing. I have a home made , well 3 but dont use them. and i have a pinewood. the home made last 3 hours on a 7a battery where as the pinewood lasts all day and then some. I like the idea of the 9800mah batteries though. are they the blue ones with the switch on the side. what magnet you using. all the best Phil.
