[Mg-t] MG TF Battery size

[Howard Battan]

Thanks Charlie. It seems that I have a pretty large choice of options, and 
that most modern batteries will do the job.  From the numbers I have seen 
listed, and the dimensions of the battery box, I'll find something that will 
work. I still do wonder if the deep cycle battery is a good idea, or just 
extra expense.
