Michael - had net problems the last few days so am a bit slow getting back here.
This is the middle of the range but there are larger amperage's without being unduly heavy or unwieldy in size.
i think this one can be had for under $40, and shopping around, probably $30.
U can see the kind of contact sleeve used. They come in packs of about 10 male and female and in various sizes. About $5-7.
The lead is a taken from a short car cigarette lead about a metre long with the C-Lighter end removed and was $4.95 from a Leading Edge electronics shop.
I cannot give a definite running time as yet but so far, for an LXD75 that usually comes with a power pack holding 8 D-Cell batts, i expect at least an all night performance.
Bear in mind that I am not running a camera or netbook etc from this set-up and would expect to go to a power tank arrangement to do so - like one of the 12V500Amp car starter types.
Since my netbook battery is adequate to a nights viewing/imaging there was no need to take the extra weight.
Hope this helps - Trevor
