I hate to say it but you probably just wasted your money. You'll kill that battery too.
Most people just want to hear "I use the BENFORD 2000 and it works great" but they don't realize that guy is using a FF that draws .4-.7 amps and yours draws 1.0 amps so you won't get the same run time and will kill the battery by trying to go 10 hours on it. Getting the "CORRECT" size battery and not running below 80% will greatly increase the life out of them. Interested in this topic, how do you determine the correct size? You need to total your total load (amp draw) and how many hours you want to run. Amp Load x run time x 1.5. This will get you in the ball park. Always over size your batt by at least 50%.
 I've never been good, But I've been Lucky! I don't Lie or Exaggerate, but sometimes I remember BIG!

This^ It would be great if they could put a sticky post on this subject in the rigging section.

Yours appears to be rated at .8 amp draw. That's probably max and will run slightly lower but that's the number I use. A good lithium battery setup will have a safety shut off to keep it from dropping below critical voltage. Yours probably has one so I don't think you will get many hours out of it before it shuts down. Not an entire tournament day.

Thanks for all the replies. I went with the nocqua 10ah battery.
You could buy another one and wire them parallel to double the amp hour.
