You are not long winded at all. LOL Well not compared to some others in here... ME! LOL


Good inforamtion and never appologise for going into details. :)


I might suggest one of those rechargeable battery packs. They sell them at Pepboys and Autozone or at Walmart and online at BPS and CABELAS. They are basically a 12 volt battery with a cigarette lighter plug built into them. I have a VECTOR type and it has a built in battery charger too. I can hook the unit up with an 110 V AC extenstion cord and the wall socket and charge up the internal 12 volt battery is a short period of time. It will run a 12 volt underwater light for a few hours. And it also works as a jumper battery for your car or boat in case their batteries go dead. I used mine to jump my truck battery and get the truck started once when I was out in the boondocks. I eventually discoverd that the battery cable on my truck battery was loose. I repaired the loose connection with a new connecter and then purchased a new battery just in case. I keep this battery charger/jumper in my boat with me on all my fishing trips. That way I can use it for the boat or the truck on my way to or from the lakes.
