[time-nuts] Power Back-up

[Mike Naruta AA8K]

 From what I've found, the Trojan and Deka golf cart batteries 
seem to perform the best.  Also good are Superior Battery and 
Crown Battery.  I have two Deka GC-15 in series to run the 
equipment and house LED power-failure lighting.

Other brands may be manufactured out-of-country, even though they 
have USA-sounding names.  It's a good idea to do your own 
research and talk with the locals about their experiences.  I 
have bought automotive starting and other use batteries from the 
local stores like Sams, Auto Zone, and Tractor Supply, and have 
been disappointed with the battery life.

Intelligent charging is a significant life factor.
