Here's an old thread that I thought I might revive.
I had to buy a couple of 105AH glass mat batteries for my caravan today and these guys quoted an excellent price for them. But better than that, they had a 150 AH glass mat battery in their "seconds or too old to sell " bin which they were happy to sell to me for $150 including GST and which they were quite sure would last for several years if handled properly. They would normally run to over double that wholesale. And they were really nice folks there - Anita still works there by the way.
The boss asked me how I heard about them and when I said an astronomy club he slapped himself on the forehead and shouted to Anita "Hey, here's another one of those star gazers." He was really quite taken by the fact that we were channeling business his way.
So now I have a 150AH deep cycle battery to take to Astrofest and hopefully run my whole rig without having to risk down time with the power grid at Duckadang. Yippee!!
