For those who hunt with a spotlight and leave it on during the entire stand, what is your power source? I have a rechargeable spotlight but the 2 batteries don't last nearly long enough for me to use it the entire time for several stands. Thanks
 

Lightforce - Battery Carry Bag & BPS Power Saver Control only (no battery) # BP7BPSNB
Turn your cigarette lighter plug powered Lightforce spotlight into a PORTABLE UNIT! this package has the female end cigarette lighter plug in - no modification necessary - Just plug it in! Includes the Power Saver Control unit (BPS) for variable light intensity adjustments which prolongs battery life in the field and sturdy and durable nylon constructed battery carry bag with adjustable shoulder strap.


This unit uses a UB1280 type battery you can get one from Rick with Tuff Lights or allpredatorcalls.com. You should be able to use any cigarette corded 12volt light with it but I would recommend getting the lightforce light also.
 
Hi jwalle1......

Welcome to the PM Site......

Your Best bet is to get a 140/170 Nighthunter or 170 Walkabout Pack from AP, if you can Afford it.......

We at(tufflights) No longer Carry them, Just Spot lights and Driving Lights and other Hunting Equipment.......

If your using a Spot Light all night,(Lightforce or other Hand Held, corded Light) Most hunters use a Hand Held (Jump Cart) these portable car Starters are great for all night running of Spot Lights....most have a small built in light and a meter to tell you how much power you have left, built in carring handle.........

They weigh any where between.15-20 lbs depending what Amp cart you buy.....and if you don't mind lugging it around..

The one I use for out in the Boat for (Shrimping with the Lightforce ML 240) it is the 900 amp one...it weighs 20 lbs....

I got it from www.Harborfreight.com it was $59.00 on sale....shipped to my door.....part # 38391-6VGA

I have one of them at work, that starts semi-Tractors in 10-15 mins,T-K and Carrier units in Seconds,that wont start......has plenty of run time, can be charged with a 12 volt Cig. lighter adpt that comes with the Jump-Pack...or any ext. a/c cord, plugs right in its side....

You can also clip on the allagator clips to your car Battery (Running) and recharge the (Jump Cart) Faster if you wish......

The cig. plug-in or Ext. cord charger takes 24 hours to recharge the 1,200 amp battery (Jump Cart)whe almost exhausted......

I also Have one in back of my H2, Ive started many a car/truck with it, along with my own....it stays on the cig. lighter all the time so its always ready to go............

Hope this Helps.......Good Hunting.......RickH2



 
Thanks to both of you for the info...Rick, i'm in my last year of college so the budget is kinda tight meaning the nighthunter is prob not an option yet. If i could get my hands on a battery for the pack that vapredatorhunter suggested would you still consider the jump cart a better option...Here in va i really dont have to travel that far to a stand so the weight wont be a big problem.Thanks again.
 
You can get the UB1280 any place that sell back up batterys for computers Radio Shack carries them. You can recharge them with any 1.5 amp 12 volt car/motorcycle charger. Battery 20.00 charger 20.00. You can also just get the BPS Dimmer from allpredatorcalls.com and make your own bag and connector.
