Foxwit Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hi, I have been using one of the small 6800mah Chinese 12v dc lithium battery packs (the blue ones you see on ebay) without any problems on my nitesite NS 50 for a couple of years and Its been fantastic. I have always wanted a deben tracer lithium battery pack for my lamp, a clulite cb2 with 50w bulb, but could never part with £200 for a battery and have stuck to lugging a 18ah sealed lead acid about. I purchased this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-15000mAh-Li-ion-Rechargeable-Battery-Lithium-ion-Power-AC-Charger-EU-Plug-/351353513616?hash=item51ce4d2690:g:sfAAAOSwEeFVE-PC thinking I would give it a whirl and at 15000mah though it would give decent run time for my lamp. When it arrived I was really disappointed as the lamp does not work with it. Anyone got any suggestions as to what the issue is or am I just being stupid? Is the lamp drawing too much power for it?

Dickthomas Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Grasp the nettle and buy a deben. Had mine , 22ah, for over 3 years probably only charged it 10 times. I use it at least once a week , sometimes twice or more if I'm not working the following day. It's a lot to lay out initially but worth every penny IMHO. Team it up with a 35w hid lamp and you won't look back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the lamp work whilst the battery's plugged in to the mains?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I use a similar battery for my small pigeon magnets. On its own it trips out because the start up draw is too high but if I run it thru a speed controller it works fine. The controller blunts the high start up current. Maybe you need something similar.
