Subject:Aux battery...again
From:Liz Maher

Hi,

OK folks, I have read everything in the archives I could find on this
subject (and there is a LOT) and it seems that no one was ever able to
recommend a specific brand/model of deep-cycle battery that will fit
under the driver's seat.  An online demo for installing one that's a bit tall
that is frequently mentioned but no longer exists at the URL (something
with ~coyote in it) posted in the messages I read.

So I am asking the list.

What do you all recommend? We have a weekender so don't need the
battery for any appliances though it might be nice to plug in a small
fridge or electric cooler if we buy one.  Mainly I want to run/recharge my
laptop on this thing, and run the radio/cassette.

We don't have an electric hookup so is wanting something that could
run the radio for a day or two and maybe run my laptop long enough to
play a DVD movie and go online a bit (I have a cell phone) unrealistic?

Thanks all!!

:) Liz
