Do you carry these or are you stationary?
Hi Christel, I mostly am stationary,but, the top one (Deben Max) only weighs 14ozs and makes very little difference to the balance of the rifle.

Am I right when I say that is about 400 grams?

The voltage could well be dropped to 10v or similar on the accessory point of modern cars. Li-Ion batteries are good in that they are very light but the voltage falls off very quickly once they are discharged so you will get virtually no warning of a flat battery, well apart form no light and you just know that will happen at the worst possible moment.
I used to run a small lead acid cell for house alarms, I think mine came from Screwfix, they are small enough to leave a spare in a bag and they are easy to charge with a normal car charger so no need for specialised (expensive) chargers.

I think with the new Lithium Ion batterys from Deben have a built-in meter to show how much charge is left,but as I said earlier is down to cost,the 12v 4ah is £89.95, and the 12v 8ah £119.95, OUCH!! :shock:
