I use two deep cycle marine batteries I got from
Canadian Tire (Nautilus brand name). I think one is
75 Ah and the other is 65. The 75 powers my
transceiver and the 65 powers my 432 MHz 100 W brick.
I have yet to run out of juice during a weekend
contest, although my level of operation isn't as
strenuous as others.
The price for the 75 Ah was about $65. That's all I
remember.
73,
