[QUOTE="oldtimerROB, post: 599367, member: 8947"] I'm going to buy a deep cycle battery from Aussie Batteries online. A 120 Ah costs about $350 with a plastic box supplied and has some connections for 12 V appliances like a fan heater to heat my van in winter. I read in your first post that AGM batteries are the safest but I am always fearful it might explode.. My question is can I install it near my bed and will it be advisable to do so. I have no other options other to place it on the floor of the passenger seat which would be inconvenient if I want to carry a passenger. The charging will be via a 200 watt solar panel during daylight when I am detecting. A second battery would also be very handy if the car battery goes flat and I am in a remote location. [/QUOTE]
