I will deal with the size issue.
Many posts the person says "I have a 12 volt battery".. great. I'm looking at a 12 volt battery as I type. I can hold it in one hand comfortably 7 Amp hours capacity.
I once borrowed a battery from a battery company for a weekend This sucker was a good 4 feet long. 3 or more high and a foot thick. they loaded it on my rented trailer with a fork lift. another of the same powered the fork lift.. About a thousand amp hours.
See what "I have a 12 volt battery" is not enough information.. both are 12 volt batteries.
When, on an RV forum, someone says, "12 volt battery" then they are obviously talking about those special flashlight batteries that you can tuck into your pocket, because every RVer needs to carry spare flashlight batteries. You can speculate on what the person means by 12v, but why, for goodness sake, would you take time to post this? Stay within the context of the discussion please.
