Hi Paul,

I will link you to the batteries, connectors and charger but please be aware of lipo battery safety if your not already, read up on them and make sure you never short them out as even a quick 2 sec short can cause them to go into meltdown!. I have been using them for years on model planes and drones etc so am very well used to them and they are very safe if you follow the few basic rules!!.

I also run my dragonfly pro 5 from one of these and easily get 15 hours run time :)



5000mah battery

Connector for pump side (the battery comes with the other half the connector pre soldered on)

A good basic lipo charger / balancer that runs from your own 12v power supply or other 12v battery .

cheers

That looks like a great setup. I've purchased the battery and charger now I'll post some picks when they arrive.

I use this charger to charge my 7ah battery and my leisure battery in the camper.

Alot of chargers won't charge such a small battery of 7ah this does from 4a to 120a and it's fully automatic so no need to disconnect when charges it goes into maintenance mode.
