When I first started wfp I bought 110 an battery, wasn't all it was cracked up to, I then used a battery out of a kangoo van which was great until it got dropped  ???

Am currently using the battery in the trafic van, cut a slit in floor under passenger seat drilled a hole through to the back and added a little switch

 ??? All 12 volt batteries are 12 volt.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. It's the amps that matter.

Thinking of doing this myself Matty.. Do you mainly do large or small jobs, ie lots of driving in between to charge the battery?

If you use a average 6 amp pump you will be luck to get a few hour work before its flat. Its really only for a back pack as these pumps draw 2 amp per hour.
