Title: Lets Talk Battery !
Post by: Umpa on 04, July, 2009 - 16:48:35

With the recent postings about batteries, I had a little peek on the net for info about marine batteries and this is what I got.

I have heard that marine gel batteries should be good since they cope with excessive vibration better, but it would be an expensive experiment  :-\ , especially if it failed !

It would help if they showed the weight of the batteries as well, since the lighter the vehicle the better the range.

My own personal preference is still for car batteries , they are lighter and cheaper and seem to last just as long. I accept not everyone agrees though  :)
