Batteries & Chargers (see also Generators )

If you are tired of carrying heavy Gel/Led-acid batteries about then why not consider our range of Lithium Polymer (LiPo) and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. At only a fraction of the weight the advantages are much greater, the dimensions are also much smaller allowing you to simply pop it in your pocket (LiPo only) Other advantages are a built in fuel gauge allowing you to see what charge you have left (LiPo only) and a flat discharge rate meaning the light stays brighter for longer. Batteries come complete with charger. Please note, by law, lithium batteries higher than 8Ah should not be transported on passenger flights (always check with your airline before travel). See details below noting dimension, weights and prices.

Details of batteries are available here.

Battery Running Times:

Note, these are approximate times and from Lithium batteries fully charged. Weather conditions can effect these times, for instance, longer in warm condition and less in cold, wet conditions.

POWATECH brand Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4)

A slightly larger, heavier type Lithium battery system with similar output performances to the Tracer Lithium Polymer range (see below) they will charge much quicker (approx. four hours if fully discharged) and offer around three times as many cycles at a far cheaper affordable price range to suite your budget.
