Corey....
You can buy a small 7-20ah battery and fit it in the bag.
As long as you have a battery charger at home, it'll probably work out a lot cheaper.
Hopefully Paul can point you in the right direction for a battery and a how to!

Because it's a big old WWworld out there :mrgreen:

That's a great idea Martin thanks
Then at least I can still use it with a car battery if needed.
But I don't have a battery charger haha damm. :D

You'll need a deep cycle charger mate with a low output so it won't bugger the battery......a very handy charger to own IMO as you can use it as a maintenance charger and to rejuvenate flat batteries that would otherwise be 'scrap'.
I got mine from Halfords years ago but it's discontinued, however the replacement looks ok http://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs- ... ce-charger and costs £25.
CTEX are a very well known make and highly regarded http://www.force4.co.uk/ctek-xs0-8-12v- ... rXFL-aTWXk costs £30 (best price to be found ATM)
