This is the one i have used for nearly 2 years every single day and has never needed to be re-charged by plug, i have a spring controller with split relay and charges it enough to not need me to do anything!

Numax are good batteries.
I cannot wait for Li Ion batteries to be in common use as the will be perfect for our industry.

LI ION is the way forward the day they are decent price I am in. They charge faster than any other and you can discharge 75% before they stop and loose power. I am trying to get a second hand Li ion yacht battery as they are amazing. They are much smaller, lighter and have more capacity than gel or acid lead.
I have friend servicing catamarans in U She was telling me how they can reduce   1000amp hour batteries  by 60 % of the weight  of a 800amp hour battery bank. and give double the useable power. His web site is Just Catamarans take a look at the video of the fit.
