I would seconds Craig's opinion (having two batteries is better than one). I did build a 60AH LiFePO4 battery a couple of years ago. If I had to do it all over again, I'd go with two 30 AH batteries. It isn't that the original battery was that heavy (20 pounds), but two 10 pound batteries would be easier to carry than a single 20 pounds. Also it gives you redundancy -- if you kill one battery you have one left. And the cost of replacing it is lower when you do.
There is often a price premium for higher capacity cells anyway. 73, Bob, WB4SON ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
