Scrapyard batteries are ok. But sometimes you dont know what your getting.
I have had some that have lasted half a year others just a couple of months.
I got fed up lugging batteries in and out of van(wrecks your back).
I have a new Tungstone 110 ah battery and am getting a split van charger fitted.
Hopefully job done.

Agreed, hence you'll notice i said for the price of a lower ah battery i'd go for a higher rated battery (i have a 110 on the van mount)
But you'll also notice that the battery is going on a trolley, not a van mount, (dont know of any trolleys able to run split chargers...) so darren was looking for a smaller battery, thats why i said the 'half decent car battery' idea...
If Darrens using a cheap pump for now to see how it goes, then there's no point spending big on a battery yet, hence the scrappy...
If he needs to upgrade in the future then he can do, thats the beauty of setting up your own trolley, you can put everything in such a way that things can be changed...
