I don't want to drive into the field. I want the lightest least expensive way to launch. These launches will be mostly black powder and mid power composites. Anxious to learn what you guys use.

Thanks for the link!!! Wow! Five amps continuous discharge! I've been searching for a battery like this for 2-stage projects for a long time. Back to the thread... I haul a car battery out to the field in a plastic tub. TedWhen I was a kid I lived in a tourist area and was able to pull Polapulse batteries out of the trash.

GregYou could get two 6v lantern batteries and wire them in series. Make sure the jumper wire, going between the "+" of 1 battery to the "-" of the other, is a pretty thick gauge. Attach the battery leads from the launch controller to the "unoccupied" posts of the batteries. There you have a cheap 12v system. Not very elegant ("Soviet" style) but cheap and it works.

The batteryspace.com site says "Total solution for Portable Power since 1995 Products are designed , assembled & Quality Controlled in USA".
The first product I pulled up had a close up view of the charger and it said "Made in China". So much for integrity.
