I have an IR camera that we use at the office. I am looking for a lightweight battery to replace the SLA battery it currently uses.
The batteries we currently are 5ah and 7ah. They have served fine in terms of providing enough power but they are heavy to carry around when you are scanning a large commercial roof. The current batch of batteries has failed and will not hold a charge anymore so I am wanting to upgrade the batteries and I will assume I will be upgrading my charger/chargers as well.
I am looking for something in the 10ah (maybe 2 5ah) or even bigger and stepping up to something in the 20ah range. but at that point, I think size would become an issue
Fast-charge would also be a bonus as there have been times when people forget to put the batteries on charge and someone else goes out to the field (forgets to check the state of charge) and has dead batteries. Something that would get to 80% charge in 20-30 min would be a huge bonus
Any suggestions out there?
I have been looking at LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery's and found these. They are about 1/3 the weight according to their little charts.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?
