| I've found that using a regular automobile battery, (84 amp-hour), does well when power outages don't last more than a couple of days. YMMV. Deep-cycle batteries, though, can be found at most marine supply stores. |

| Car batteries are optimized to provide the high current needed to operate the starter in a car. The cold craning amps are delivered for only about 30 seconds before giving the battery a chance to recover. Deep cycle batteries are designed to deliver rated amp-hours at lower discharge rates, and not short out the plates as the enlarge from discharging. |

| The Optima AGM batteries are available in deep cycle and are well thought of... http://www.optimabatteries.com/optima_products/yellowtop/index.php |
