Title: what battery to use for my birds
Post by: ElvisMarcy on August 02, 2010, 04:59:05 AM

I just bought a 997 and 788, i was wondering what you alls recommendations on batteies were. I have a three bank set up, two deep cycle for TM and 1 for cranking. I was told that I should use a deep cycle for cranking and running my birds. Or would a Starting battery be just as good.  Whats some good makes and sizes? All comments are appreciated.

If the HB is the only item on a battery almost any 12 rechargeable will do.  We use our portable 1197 on a 12 volt motorcycle battery.  About 5 hours of run time.
If you share a battery then it needs to stay charged. Cold crank is not an issue.
