[Rover] Dual battery setup question

Sun, 14 Jul 2002 09:36:09 -0400

Hi Jacob,

    I use deep cycle batteries for everything in my Rover mobile.  I have
two running all the radios and one always being charged as I drive. I made a
charging cable which attaches to my camper hookup plug.  I bought my deep
cycles at Sears on sale and for the most part run all day. Even with my
higher watt radios....

Have fun,
KB1EAA, Dave
