Phil,

Good news! Now all we need are a few more days like Saturday!!

How many packs do you have and what charger do you use?

Rgds,
Mark
Hi Mark,

At present I only have the one pack. I'll be getting a couple more as I'm planning on using a similar setup on some other models at some point. However, a new BVM Bobcat composite means we'll not be shelling out on any more batteries for a while.

I'm using a Schulze ISL 6-330d. Since it only cranks out 5 amps it takes a little longer to charge but it does the job. I'm not about to buy a new charger for the sake of 1 amp. For the money this little charger is hard to beat. For charging in the field I've had to gang two heavy duty car batteries in parellel together - it works although after the first charge they start to buckle under until you drop the current down to around 3 amps. I've got to have a look at some bigger car batteries.
