The idea is for the batteries to be portable. So a deep cycle but portable battery would be what? Not a golf cart battery. And for clarification, these are for emergency use primarily in the stick house.

For what it's worth I have run a weeks worth of IOTA operations on a ordinary car battery just fine. So one battery for the radio station and another for TV, lights, inverter, laptop and all that.

A TV made to be used in a vehicle might be fine, but as long as it has a 12 - 14 volt wall wart I can make my own power connections to the battery.
