Hi Schalk,
Before comitting to a Deepcycle, have a trawl through the forum, many guys here (myself included) have been disillusioned with deepcycle and are looking at alternatives like AGM etc.

Ek het annerdag m ROYAL gekoop vir 1200 -- dis n 115 AH
My aanwending moet ek n battery met inverter he wat die 90 minute ++ Jesus Fil en voorprent en klankstelsel kan trek ..
Enigiets kleiner kan dit nie doen nie -- en synde ek die Uitreik toerusting self befonds moet ek daai pensjinkjie maar dunnnnn uitrek.
As alrternatief en "back-up" vat ek n klein kragopwekker saam - en iemand het my gebless met n 80 watt sonpaneel -- wat ook baie help.
MAAR - as ek vir n paar dae staan sonder uitreik [voor die sonpaneel ] -- en ek gebruik bikki my kop ook - dan trek die battery die yskas 4 dae voor ek nodig het om te laai [maar dan BARS dit om hom weer vol te kry.. Yskas?? Dis n WAECO 55 liter

In my humble opinion get nothing other than a lead crystal battery from Deltec - it expensive but will last double its closest competitor and has more than double the deepcycle handling capacity - I tested a 100ah LC battery by running a 5 amp continuous load (a light) for 24 hours and then started my patrol - ie much better performance than 100ah!!
See some of my old posts on this - there are links to videos where people have done more scientific tests and results are astounding.
Only issue the high price!

Kyk sommer by Bushpower ook om 'n vergelyking in prys te kry. Ek het
hierdie outjie daar gekoop en is baie tevrede met hom.
Omdat jy hom
baie papper kan trek as 'n loodsuur sonder dat hy skade kry, is daai 70A baie! Die Lead Crystal batterye laai ook baie vinniger as die loodsuur outjies, en hulle kan 3000 laaisiklusse oorleef

baie dankie, die bushpower lyk baaie belowend. se my hulle praat van n Ctek D250S om dit te charge is dit nou as jy by die huis stop dan charge jy hom of is dit fisies n charger wat jy moet install in jou bakkie
