Biggthepool05 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 What is best battery for running a magnet all Day while Out shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exudate Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I use a sealed Lucas AGM battery, 23 amps. Small enough to fit neatly into my seat-box, not overly heavy and turns my A1 magnet all day. Being sealed, there's no danger of acid leak. Just remember to charge it fully after each outing. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I have used a 12v 17ampH battery which would run a magnet and a flapper for many hours, and still had plenty of power left in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 My wife said her golf trolley battery was not making 18 holes and purchased a new one. ME !! WASTE NOT WANT NOT!!! been using it now for running two flappers (Discovery window motors) and never gone flat yet. With intermittent thingies fitted, very little juice is drained anyway.

deny essex Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 When I made my 1st rotary many years back with a car wiper motor the measure'd consumption with real birds on average was between 1.25 and 1.5 amp per hour in calm conditions peaking briefly to 2+ amp on start up. Wind strength, bird weight and temperature can all have an effect on the amps used per hour. As a rough calculation I use the intended run time of the rotary times 1.5 (the amp consumption) = amperage battery needed. e.g 10 running hours x 1.5 amps = 15 amp battery or bigger required. By no means was this a laboratory test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
