Pete, I have had great results with a marine starting battery (Optima yellow top) for past 4.5 years.
It stays on floor in battery case with 10A circuit breaker in series at positive terminal. A 2 stage 2A charger maintains the battery during receive and off time. Setup is quiet, no heat, and isolated from ac power surges. I can operate rig for several hours a day and have had no problems with high/low voltage. 73 Mike/AC5P ________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
