I have a couple battery boxes I carry with me. One has a 12-volt 10 AH Dakota lithium battery in it and my other box has a Canbat 12-volt 12 AH lithium battery. I have never run out of power using these on one outing. Never pushed it past that because I normally charge them back up after each outing. One battery can handle these lights no problem for a single outing. I like the lithium because they are lighter for when you're pulling a sled with all your gear. You could even bump up to a battery with more AH and not worry at all and even run more stuff off of it. The draw from the lights is not that bad. Hope that helps.
how do you fasten the wires to the vertical poles so that they dont get pinched when collapsing the tent? i see you velcroed them above the collapsable part, but how about below that to keep them from getting pinched or tangled when collapsing tent?
Hey JD! I carry extra velcro straps with me for the side pole. When I'm done I just roll up the bottom part and velcro to the top of pole. Haven't had any issues. When I'm collapsing I pay close attention to where that wire is.
Hey Jeff! Yes they have held up. I must admit I do like them. Definitely throws off plenty of light and they seem durable. I found the price point kinda high but chose to pay it so I hope they last a long time.
What size battery and how long does it last with the lights on? I’m looking for options for my hub shelters.

I’ve seen the motley crew that you fish with. The dimmer will come in handy 🤣
You're damn right! Lol 😂 I will turn the lights off altogether!
Have the lights held up?

@@X2OOutdoors awesome I seen them on line figured I’d see if anyone had reviewed them and yours was the first I came across. I appreciate it!
