Well, my starting battery gave up the ghost yesterday in the cold of winter. So, in goes the new deep cycle.

Next up, I'll figure out how to disconnect the alternator on the Metro. Sadly, I believe its self exciting, so I can't just cut some logic level wire to kill it. I think I'm going to have to cut the main power line to the battery and put in a large relay.
