Car batteries aren't suitable. Use a deep discharge battery, as sold
for golf buggies, caravans, etc. ('Leisure' batteries).

they aren't suitable either.

Still die on deep discharge, they just go a BIT deeper that's all, and
its not that much.

Friend of mine had a canal boat,..tried em all. All failed.


I'm speaking from considerable personal experience, not merely an
anecdote from a friend.

Bill

so you have run several deep discharge batteries totally flat, and they
have all survived?
