Tomcat Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 We have a week long walleye trip planned for next August to a very secluded area where there is no access to electricity. We've been researching various power sources to run spotlights (returning to camp in darkness) or other equipment (like a 12 volt electric filleting knife). Although I don't have any problems filleting walleye with a non electric fillet knife, I'm interested in looking at options. I read elsewhere that a portable jump start/power supply was used successfully for a week as the only power source for a 12 volt filleting knife. Research on portable jump start/power supplies indicates that many contain a 20 amp hour battery. Consequently, why not simply take a 20 amp hour deep cycle battery to power a 12 volt filleting knife rather than a portable jump start/power supply? To facilitate responses, here's an example of a portable jump start/power supply that weighs less than 25 lbs. It contains a 19 amp hour battery. http://www.tylertool.com/blackanddecker44.html Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 there is no reason in the world to not just use a battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Go to Princess Auto and get yourself a 20Amp/h rechareable. Much cheaper, without all the useless dingers and bells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
