[cool][#0000ff]I started off with a small 33 ah wheelchair battery, to try to save space and weight. I got a buy on a couple of used deep cycles...one series 24 and the other series 27. I really put them through their paces to get a feel for what was adequate without overdoing it. The only battery I ever ran to failure was the series 24...and that was after a long day with a lot of use.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Right now I am using a series 27 AGM deep cycle battery. It weighs 65#. I had to offset the weight of the battery and motor by installing a couple of boat bumpers under the front end. see pics.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]During cold weather I carry my battery in a picnic cooler bag, for insulation. The whole thing squeezes down inside the storage area behind the seat just like it was made for it. see pic.[/#0000ff]
