Aldi are selling Power Tanks on the 17th for €40 each, see www.aldi.ie/ie/html/offers/58_4738.htm for more info.

Now I am going to cry after paying €130 for 2 of them at the weekend in Maplins, boo hoo :cry:

Thanks for the heads up Darragh (you win some you lose some)!
Are there any tech details about power output on that unit, (Amp/Hour, max current etc?).

Paul, good idea, just be careful of next doors neighbours’ dog deciding to use you as a lamp-post as a matter of relief while in that position. I have heard of “GuideDog” autoguiding software but this really takes the p**s! :)

Mike,

Here is some details

Built in 12V 17AH sealed lead acid batttery, 3 DC12V car cigarette plug sockets, 2 working light, built in air compressor 250PSI. Charge indicating LED, battery status indicating LED. Optional power inverter.

from www.made-in-china.com/showroom/taiyuanto...-Start-TYJ-06A-.html

The 3 DC cigarette plug sockets would be handy for running multiple items.

Nope, it said €66 on the display rack and they are marked as £40 sterling on their website.
So they must have gone up in price, or you were very lucky
