I bought a 12 volt deep discharge 600 amp-hour battery at Sam's Club for $50 three years ago and it has been great! It's heavy, but I never have to worry about running out of power. Wayne A.

"Kim" <kimharch@cut.net> 04/27/07 11:09 PM >>> Hi all. I'm looking for a new portable 12V power supply, for use with either my Meade refractor or my 12.5" Cave-Astrola. I had to go to MalWart tonight for my son and I happened to notice a 12V, 22Ahr battery/power supply there for about $60. I didn't catch the manufacturer's name, and I am always hesitant to buy anything from that retailer. Anyway, do any of you have recommendations? I want at least a 15Ahr battery; a built-in inverter isn't necessary (I already have an inverter I could use). Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks, Kim _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.utahastronomy.com
