We also use the same idea here ...
we use 2 batts from the scotters .. thay are sealed lead acids . work
great !! and thay can really be drawn down if needed ( that's what
thay where made to do)
and the price is not bad .. we paid $100 each for them and verry
will worth it
and we also have them on the outside of the UPS .. thay wont fint
inside :)
if any one wants a model # I can provide or just go down to your
local batt store .. NO not sears or the same .. but a true batt store
and look around
