Rabbithunter 456 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 that harness looks the mutts nuts. Beagles... it doesnt matter what lamp you have................. its the size of the bulb that drains tha battery Quote Link to post
Rabbithunter 456 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 and one of those batteries, beagles, should last you a fecking good lamping sessions. my ole 16amp gave me a good few hours off the back of the van. the thing i find with dry cell, is you can notice the power fading..... with the wet cell, it will just suddenly go within five mins. you get the full power of a wet cell all the way Quote Link to post
