Thanks Charlie. It seems that I have a pretty large choice of options, and
that most modern batteries will do the job. From the numbers I have seen
listed, and the dimensions of the battery box, I'll find something that will
work. I still do wonder if the deep cycle battery is a good idea, or just
extra expense.
