wildfowler.250 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Do many folk on here use a lithium battery for the magnet ? And if so, where would you recommend buying or what models? Been lugging big heavu car batteries across fields for years now and there must be an easier way! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) I use a small 12 volt 10ah alarm battery (£15), not very heavy and lasts all day, I have not used a Lithium battery on the magnet, just had a quick look at them and they are expensive....http://www.alpha-batteries.co.uk/brands/relion-batteries/ Edited July 19, 2017 by old'un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Thanks old'un. I thought they were maybe more common but judging by the amount of replies maybe not. I know they're popular for lamping but I suppose that involves walking a lot of miles. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert 888 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Don't know much a about magnets but I stuck a lithium battery on my bike and it only weighs around 1kg maybe less and it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt1980 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Screwfix or toolstation do them 12v 7ah will last a good few hours for about £18. Don't forget a charger as well tho, cheap car battery one will do for about £5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I bought a Deben12v 22ah for lamping before they released those awesome little torches lol! I've never by just bought a connector to wire it up to the magnet so not sure if it works yet but here's hoping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
