battery will it last on rallies or do i need a Generator?

[Thelma65]

hi there - hope you can help?

im starting to go on some rallies this year and im new to rallies so i was looking for some advice on how long i should expect to get out of my battery useage in terms of hours?

we have a 2006 eccles emerald and it runs of gas/elec/batt

but i have enetered into a 5 day rally in may and im not sure if my battery will last that long or should i be looking at getting a genny? and if so will the cheaper £100 gennys do a good job?

any help would be appreciated from any experienced ralliers out there!

depends on the typ of battery and how much you use it .

If you are going to watch alot of tv and have the cd player running then not very long,good management and you could stretch to 5 days but without use of the above.

Gennies tend to be frown upon on rallies and can be very annoying,the cheap ones are so noisy.

On a 4 day rally we had a guy next to use his genny from 7.30 in the morning to 6 in the evening so his kids could play on the playstation with the 32" tv.

Borrow another battery or invest in a 40 w plus solar panel,after the initial expensive the sun is free.
