Dave on the farm here I need a large battery, I'm using a 112 AH rated battery with 930 CCA (cold cranking amps).

I gave that a lot of thought. I was initially gonna use DC banana sockets but the ones I had didn't fully expose the terminal when you unscrew them and hence makes it difficult to clip the clamps onto.
This way the clamps stay one very well, as you can see in the photo below.
If someone does try and plug audio equipment in there then the music will be very monotonous and anyone lugging around audio equipment at observing nights must be
than I am......
Thanks for your nice comments too, everyone.
Ed I like the colour too, it matches my LX200.
Phil I was relieved at reading your reply to another thread confirming what needs to be done about earthing the inverter.
PS I like the idea of putting wheels and R/C on it, that way it can deliver it's own Pizza......
