I still remember the days when I could do an engine rebuild on a beetle or bus for well under $1K. Somehow just a bit much to run some stuff for a weekend of camping.

Ken, a friend of mine over on the left coast has been working with a battery maker in China (where almost all come from) and they have made a 120Ah battery to fit perfectly in the original battery box. That means 100Ah usable from one battery. The price is currently just over a grand...but that's a lot of storage in a stock battery compartment! he has two happy customers testing these out.
