For this kind of use get a Deep Cycle Marine Battery - Over here in my country the best price/AH is a 225AH battery thats been running a RB532 and CM9 under full load for 10 days so far - will likly reach 20 days before voltage dips below 11v.

You will also want to buy a 12v Output reg to make sure you dont send and spiked or sags into the RB directly.


Dont use car battries because they are not meant for long term drain. they are designed to be pushed really hard when yoru car starts and then trickle charged by the alt - the only time the battery is in use is when the Alt is not powering enough or the car is starting
