Lamping battery - ways to carry

My other battery was a lot more mobile, it was a Corsa battery in a bucket! And accounted for many a freddy.:D
 
Here's how I carry my lamp battery

I used to use an ex army gas mask bag.

I bought It from the bay, It fits 2x7ah batteries and has a long strap so that you can turn It Into a backpack.
 
my mate made me a padded shoulder bag out of heavy duty fabic. works a treat
who was he ? an incredibly talented helpful chap i bet, the sort of bloke that would make a bench rest table for you as-well i expect:D
 
Can you tell me where from ?, I've trawled the net and I can't find a suitable 12v lithium battery with a decent a/h output for that sort of money

I just bought a 9.8aH 12v Lithium bare battery for £27 shipped to my door.
if you want longer aH than that buy two smaller ones, you will find that two small ones at 9.8 are less than the price of a 19.6aH!
I have no interest in paying Deben £200 either and I dont need a little light to tell me how much is left.
Lithium batteries dont have anything like the "memory" that lead acid or nicads have so charging them from 1/2 to full is not an issue.

I am now looking for a decent bayonet male to female connector so I can cut the Deben one of and fit my own to the lamp and the new battery.

it will mean I have a Deben Tristar Pro LED lamp kit with 9.8aH power for around £75.
sounds better than the £280 they want for light and 10aH battery!!


you can get batteries on eBay but just google Lithium 12v and you will see how ridiculous Deben's prices are
