Recommend me a battery please

[Colin G]

Hi all .
Could you please recommend as I’m looking for a 12 volt battery.
Must be light in weight as I’m “getting older “and my go to bag for a night outing is getting heavier.

A high drain if possible.
I need it to run a thermal roof spotter and occasionally a bosh illuminator ( bosh being the high drain part ) .
Regards
Colin

If light is important then geta 12 volt lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4) like this

About 1/3 the weight of a lead acid battery with the same capacity
No safety issues (it won't explode or go on fire) and can be charged using the same charger as for sealed lead acid
Maximum discharge current is 8 amps (approx 100watts) so check how much power your Bosch illuminator uses

Cheers
