dusk2dawn Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hi in my quest for a replacement to one of my ailing batteries I looked on Ebay and came across this 300095455433 there are 138 of them so plenty to go round, what do you think, has anyone tried these?

MC Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 The problem with them is they are not sealed so unless you carry them upright all the time your gear will fall apart from acid burns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 A 17 will last all night deffo, but they are extremely heavy to be lumping around. 7Ah should last you and will go on a belt pouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter_HMR Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Think those alarm battery's are lead acid with the gel electrolyte so they wont leak dont quote me on that though.

Bit of exercise never hurt anyone Plenty have gone out lamping with car batteries etc. There is nothing worse than spotting a fox only for him to get away for lack of juice and it ALWAYS happens on the good nights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
