Can anybody please recommend somewhere that sells a decent 12v7ah battery that lasts more than half a dozen charges?  Almost every one I buy nowadays needs charging after a day's work now after about 6 weeks of buying it. Thanks for any help ;-)

I bought two Yuasa ones for £24.99 off eBay.  I've had a similar problem to you. I've tried various brands and they all seem to stop holding a full charge quite quickly. I'm on my third this year.

They're actually dreadful. The original shurflo ones seemed to last years. Nothing compares to them :-/

You may need to look again at what you think a "7ah" battery can do, as opposed to what they can actually do. I'll tell you a "7ah" battery is not powerfull enough to run WFP all day, or anything else all day. Get a bigger battery, or keep charging it every night.
 Most using WFP systems all day are running off big 12v batteries that are 75/85 ah minimum. Bigger when you get into the Lesuire battery category, (thats a rhyme!). And they still need regular charching to maintain the battery life.
 If you do find a cheap 7ah battery that will keep a pump going all day then please let us all know, as we're all shelling out £70/£80 plus on 85ah batteries.

I regularly get a solid day out of a 7ah battery with my trolley but I wouldn't try to get more without charging it.
I'm beginning to think though, that these 7ah batteries won't hold a full charge for more than about three months the way I use them (I fully charge my trolley four times a week). Cost-wise that works out to about the same as when I used a 26ah battery.  They cost about £50 and used to last me about a year.  I'd much rather work with a lighter trolley so I'm happy to change the battery four times a year.

Me too, probably different reasons than you.. I know for a fact he wont carry an 85ah battery in his back pack. But my question is...if a 7ah battery can keep a pump going all day, what we all buying 85ah batteries for ? Still chuckling ?

Whats the point you're making Bro ? Price or amp hours  ?

To get back on topic I think the real question should be are these chepo china crap backpack spot sprayer converted for wfp use made for everyday full time use ?  The obvious answer is no they are not regardless of what 7ah battery you put in it.

[robert mitchell]

Price and longevity , its 95 ah and charged by a split relay , never had to bench charge it so far .

I'd guess that these back packs are not for every day use., or maybe i should correctly say.. "all day " use. They don't sound like they are from the description..... how come you come out with "chepo china crap " ? Whats that got to do with anything ? Might seem like i'm being a bit anal..i'm not intentionally . Because whats the alternative, its all made in  China ? You know anothe Country that manufactures poles, pumps, hoses and batteries ? If so, let me in on the info.............

Are you on the turbo shandys ?

It's not in a back pack , you asked why everyone is buying 85ah batteries , I was just sharing my experience with a secondhand £10 car battery .

This forum cracks me up 

How about instead of using a 12 volt backpack spot sprayer try one of these instead lol

I'm drunk to be honest mate. You wanted to share experiences of car batteries with back pack users ?  That wasn't really my question. I know we pay x amount for a 85ah battery. What i'm interested in finding out, if it exists, is how can we get the 7ah batteries that keep a pump going all day., thats the OP's question .Myself, i'm just buying a new lesuire battery, you've made clear your buying them from a scrapper. So the OP, how can we best advise him ...? And i'll ask you the same question i previously asked you... what should he be going for.....  a cheap battery from a scrappy, or should he pay attention to the amp hours...?
