Theoretically deep-cycle batteries are better. And they cost more. They are supposed to last longer & store more charge, as well. When we first tried them out at the Australian Quadriplegic Association, the costs seemed high, and the "gains" not seem worth the extra expense & trouble. Not sure what has happened in the last five years though. Any experiences from others? -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!3!712!631!Greg.See-Kee Internet: Greg.See-Kee@f631.n712.z3.fidonet.org

My deep cycle marine batteries last about one year and need recharging every other day on the average. This is with 10-12 hours of normal use per day. -=joe=- -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!150!140!Joe.Chamberlain Internet: Joe.Chamberlain@f140.n150.z1.fidonet.org
