Lithium battery ?????

hunter9

I bought a new lithium battery for 175 euro. The battery weight is lite but the only problem i found was that it only lasted 3 hours.To me that was a bit of a shock and also the lamp didn't die off it just stopped (a big no no when your half way across the fields).I'm not to disapointed but i'd like to know if anyone has tried them and what they think

What volt & amp are battery, they are on my list.

I got my lightforce lamp out of retirement today so I need to get the weight of my batteries down, and I also want easier charging, preferably of the car as I'm never home much but it would be handy to be charging them to and from work; so when on days off I'd have them ready

I've 2 Bike Batteries for mine (Deben)
However it would be nice to be able to charge in car, as if you go out and you lose power you can give her a bit of juice by driving around to a different permission.

I have a rucksack but I would prefer if the batteries were lighter than 4kg combined load.

Anyone know where you can get a charger that would charge from 12V Power outlet (it would be handy if it could charge laptop too, Log on to boards whilst waiting for Charlie to appear lol )
