Hey Bert,
I have been there 2 years ago. - See the list archives.
My advise is simple to switch over to one type 12 V battery, which fits into
the right battery box.
I did this change with great sucess - better power on a cheap and reliable
battery - VARTA!
If you like you may contact me directly for advise on the right model
number.
Cheers,
Hans
