battery packs..

[country-kid 2]

my mates looking to buy a battery pack for his new lamp but finds the batteries rather expensive looking at £99 for a 12v 18a battery pack and was wandering if any of you lads or lasses have any ideas on making your own or getting them cheap e.t.c

 

so if youve got pics show us your custom battery packs

Old seat belts are good, easy to stitch and almost indestructable ........ just a thought.

I buy an 18amp sealed lead acid rechargeable battery at a motor bike shop €75 a go, still expensive in my mind. I use a backpack with decent wide shoulder straps, I cut off any zip handles to stop jingling and tie the shoulder straps across my chest with some rope, makes it easier to carry. On the end of my lamp wire are two eyes, red for positive + and blue for - I bolt these to the battery terminals and away I go. Oh, I cut a small slit in the backpack to let the wire through.

 

Good thing about the backpack is it's got pockets for spare bulbs, a back up torch, etc.

I have for sale a unused 12v 17amp.hr battery for £20 if it is any good as it is a bit heavy for me, p/m me if interested. rob.
