supersam 65 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 well iv not used exactly that one but on the deben pack there is a similar cigar connection thats absolute useless.. as when the connection heats up it just burns through the soldering connections... some times the most simplest things are the best but as iv said iv not used that exact one kid Quote Link to post
ulverston moocher 60 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Yeh mate I use the same one the crock clips slip off the battery terminals when walking so i drilled mine and put a 10mm nut and bolt through the crock clips and battery terminals then they cant come off when out lamping and they can be removed fairly easy but mine is now spot on. I go to halfords and buy mine and the cigar plugs hope this helps mate atb.chris. Quote Link to post

Should allow me to set up a battery to last the night instead of spending twice the money on one that wouldn't last 3hrs! Quote Link to post
supersam 65 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 honest question... how does this set up make the battery last longer or did i miss read the post? Quote Link to post

It means I can connect a car battery to a lightforce with out fiddling about with wires because I can get the same connection as a deben battery, which is more expensive and doesn't last as long.
