For reasons of safety, LiFePO4 is generally accepted as the chemistry 
most suited for our operation. Bioenne is a good vendor. I know several 
other hams are using their products, as I have for at 6-8 years. I have 
a 20 Ah battery for portable operation, and a 100 Ah battery has been 
running my station for five years. It is float-charged through a Genasun 
charge regulator (marketed for small solar systems) by a re-purposed 
Thinkpad power supply.
