Kokatha, Shane etc. thanks for the info, no offence taken at all btw, I am just learning about different battery designs and their do's and don'ts. Yes, I have a Meade LXD75, Autostar and (now) Kendrick dew heater. I agree that the LXD75 is probably drawing about 1 amp, possibly 1.5 slewing, and the 3-inch Kendrick is another 0.7 amps or so. Yeah, I am in effect deep cycling my 7AH SLA in one session, which is not good. So I am after maybe 12AH or even 18 AH now, and I like the idea of a 'dedicated' powertank or jumper purely for the convenience (and gimmicks) of an all-in-one box. If I get a 12V jump starter - is connection directly to the jumper leads OK? Thanks, Fox.
