Theoretically deep-cycle batteries are better.  And they cost
more.  They are supposed to last longer & store more charge, as
well.

When we first tried them out at the Australian Quadriplegic
Association, the costs seemed high, and the "gains" not seem
worth the extra expense & trouble.

Not sure what has happened in the last five years though.  Any
experiences from others?
