View Full Version : Lugging around a car battery.

The field where I fly is closed to cars except on Soap box derby days (stupid pseudo-hobby). On those days, I can not fly due to the screaming, crying 8 year olds going down the 2% grade at 4 mph. Since my current charger hooks to a car battery, could I just purchase a low-end car battery and use it in the field to charge the packs that are not currently in the air? Then, when I get home, charge the car battery?


Thanks

Absolutely. That is what I do, except I placed the battery inside one of those plastic tool boxes with wheels. This lets me keep all of my accessories and tools in one place and I can just grab the handle and pull it along. Carrying the car battery gets old after a while.
