Can I boost my van with a marine battery ?

[Bernie]

There are marine batteries and deep cycle marine batteries. Differently designed.

Deep cycle are generally used for trolling motors.

It must be a deep cycle to be able to withstand a deep discharge/recharge.

The plates on the inside have a different design to be able to withstand this.

So, it was TOO warm to try out the new bed heater. It only got down to 10C where I was for the weekend. I was plenty warm enough in my sleeping bag.

 

I did buy the alligator clip/cigarette lighter adapter at CT for $5.95.

 

Will provide an update on the next cold snap when I need the heat.

 

Thanks
