I have to disagree with Dane about his blanket assertion that a Li-ion
battery will outlast a lead acid one by many years. My Corolla battery
lasted 7.5 yrs in the car, and has been one of two batteries that I power my HEQ5 with for the two yrs since, and is still going strong.[ I changed it because it was having trouble holding charge while I was away on holiday for three weeks.] I changed my Astra battery 3 months ago at the ripe old age of 13yrs 7 months. My wife's closest friend has a 14 yr old Mazda
which still has the original battery going strong. I've been using motor
bike and car batteries[ mostly old ones] to power my scopes for over
30 yrs, and never had one let me down.
