Hasan - Auto starter batteries in your app are unlikely to last more than a few months. If that's what's available I suggest adding batteries in parallel to increase the A/H capacity. Starter batteries discharged below 15-20% capacity will have short and unhappy lives. Adding batteries in parallel is not a good solution - Meticulous, ongoing attention is necessary to connections - Short, heavy gauge, and clean... Good luck. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
