[Gregory OConnor]

Jack, 'battery systems' in Santee has blems some times at half
price, full warrenty. great customerservice.

the big box stores sell "marine starting", "marine/rv" and "rv"
batteries. the marine starting are not deepcycle.

Unless you can 'series connect' a pair of 6V, you may have to stay
with 12Volt batteries. It seems safe to go with Trogen brand.

how is the possum?
