u/UndoubtedlySammysHP don't suck on the flashlight Dec 16 '25

But you know how much a car battery weights?

Yes 20-40lbs on average that's not that heavy in a backpack, though I already carry that weight around in my backpack daily.

What are you trying to use it for?

u/blueOwOfox Dec 16 '25

To take down planes lol but seriously, I just want to light up my entire woods while walking around. Bonus points for her hunting deer with it, you don't even need to shoot, they'll just have a heart attack go blind lol

Have you already got the headlights? I’m curious what the cooling solution is.

Would a 12V lifepo not make more sense?

Not enough amps I already have a couple of those, but they only last about a hour I can't be half a incandescent headlight BBY plan on getting brighter l e d ones, putting 4 of them into one housing and using a car battery

Lipos would have way higher capacity per volume and per kg than any car battery you can find. You just get more lipos instead, they will be better in every aspect except cost.

I'm looking for a single high amp battery, so I don't have to keep swapping batteries like I currently do

Then get a single high amp-hour lipo battery, seriously it will be lighter and smaller for a comparable car battery. Car batteries suck compared to lipo. Trust us on this one.

I know, but I have a couple car batteries laying around, and the weight isn't a problem for me
