Hi Steve

Think your bag is great, may end up doing something similar.
I've got a question for you about batteries.
I found a maintenance free battery that I used to use in the field with my computerized
telescope. As I haven't used it for awhile I'm not sure if it's still any good.
I've had it on the trickle charger now for 3 days and the led on the charger is still
flashing indicating that it's charging.
The specs of the battery are DM12-4.2 (12V 4.2AH/20Hours)
not sure if I understand this correctly but do those specs indicate that at full charge
the battery will deliver 12volts at the rate of 4.2amps every hour for 20 hours?
If so, this little beauty will do me down the field every day without the need to use my car battery.
Of course what I don't know is how good the battery is after being unused for so long.
How long do you reckon I should leave it on the trickle charge ?
Specs of the charge are Input 240V Output 12V 350mA.
Both were bought at the same time from Jaycar.
