North east finest 105 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 cracking batterys mate ive just bought 2, tested them out tonight and only needed the 1 been lamping for 6 hours and it just started to fade at the end of the night.. hardleys any weight to them either just buy a couple and leave a spare in the car just incase it does run out on you. id say it would be impossible to run 2 out in 1 night unless you never turned the lamp off.. and im charging mine with a tracer trickle charger takes about 4 or 5 hours to charge, well worth investing in a couple. how much are they on ebay mate Quote Link to post
