It's not really the battery concern right now - it's the belt. I made up about 4 bungee belts this summer. They usually don't last very long, and I used up my last one a couple of weeks back. I just need to make a new batch.

Ideally, I need to put in an electric motor to drive the water pump - it'll be much easier on the belt.
