The wiring is sh*t on all these lamps and batteries but anyone can modify them in minutes,there"s only 2 wires,a pos+ and a neg-, its not rocket science boys, I've got both Deben and wild hunter and there's no difference in time out with them or power, I can recommend both, the only thing I don't like with lithium is that they give no warning of losing power,they just stop working, WM

What you mean w.k

[peterhunter86 8,627]

Have a look for the new lithium batteries. LiFePo4. Their only slightly heavier than the old lithium ion ones but last twice as long and are a fair bit cheaper (their not as dangerous as the old ones so cost less to manufacture)

by last twice as long do u mean entire life or full to empty charge

[bullmastiff 610]

Entire life.

Lithium Ion batteries start degrading after about 1000 cycles (charges I guess?) LiFePo4 last for 2000 cycles before they degrade. SLA batteries last about 300-500 cycles before they start degrading.

[bunnyboiler 1,050]

So if you went out 100 times during the season nearly 5 times a week and charged it every time it would last 10 seasons that's some going that ?

[bullmastiff 610]

Think they should last longer than that. They start degrading after 2000 cycles not stop working. Think basically after that time they don't hold as much charge as before.

So a 12v 20ah SLA battery after 2000 cycles would still work but would be more like a 7-10ah battery but the LiFePo4 would still hold 20ah of charge.
