so far my goal is just to keep doing my now normal P&G. Which has my engine off for ~80% of my 45 min trip to work. I did do a longer trip to a meet (250 miles each way) with the stock battery and I did not have any issues, but that was all in the sunny day time. My trips home seem to be amp hour neutral to a slight +.

How may and what type of batters did you use for your big pack?

If I could use smaller physical size batteries I could fit 20-40 of them in my nose and tail without any usable space lost, but full sized batters would have to go in the cargo area and that is not a great option for me right now.

Do they make a deep cycle motorcycle battery? would a nicad or LIon battery cells work for this situation?
