What is the battery that u guys use to light up the HID with ballast ?? Can i use 6V lead acid battery to light it up ??

If you have two of them in series you can.

The ballasts wont except anything lower than ~12 volts.

I use 2 6v 4Amp SLAs in series in my smaller HID host (RT3500) :thumbsup:

a good percentage of 12V spotlights (incan or HID) use 2x6V in series. You can not however use 1x6V cell by itself.

Thx for reply . If i connect two 6V lead acid battery in series , there are no space to put the extra 1 battery in my spotlight . Got any battery that suitable for me to use with HID with ballast and can last longer ?

This what I'm using.
My build.
It would be possible to use two of these batteries and still have room for the ballast, much longer runtime using just one of these instead of the standard 12V 7Ah. Batery.
