read this and look at the specks
it charges the same or faster as a crank battery
it can get hot and not brake
it can be stored for up to 2 years with no damige
doensnt mind to be shaken around on dirt roads ect
does not need maintance and life span is great!!!! :thumbup:
I have been looking at this for a long time and this tipe of battery makes sence for overlanding :blonde:
this battery is not for cranking your diesel but perfect for your frige ect.

Dis natuurlik hoekom dit beter is om die battery agter in die Patrol te sit as onder die enginkap.
