[TenTec] Wanted: battery and noise help!

[Clark Savage Turner]

Most honored list members:

Anyone can recommend a good price/performance 12 volt battery to run the 
OMNI VI?  I also have the Herc II, and I'd float the battery on 10 amp 
charge while running the Herc II (no p.s. here).  I've used a common 
marine deep cycle battery and it works fine, but finally  fell over in 
the trunk of my car after a few years and dumped the electrolytes (and 
the acid ate up my nice Pelican case with my Buddipole inside!  The 
Buddipole survived, but the case took a hit....)

I thought that maybe a pair of 6 volt golf cart batteries would work 
fine.  I might also think about a step up regulator to give me 13.8 
volts through the useful range of the batteries (though for the possible 
70 + amp draw of the Herc II this could be expensive?)

Well, if anyone is doing this, especially if you float a solar charger, 
I'd like to hear from you.

Another question.  I've got power line noise from more than one source.  
I have the Timewave (JPS) noise canceller and it works well on a single 
noise.  Anyone ever daisey chain these things to notch more than one 
noise source?  Anyone have a Timewave noise canceller that they'd like 
to sell to me?
