Hello ALL,

If I replace the battery in my Vagabond II with a NON-High Discharge or a NON-Deep Cycle SLA Battery, will it affect the perfomance of the inverter or my B800s? I know it sounds like like a knit-picky question, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Any info would be a great deal of help.

Thanks

There would be no harm to the inverter or the lights. Performance wise, a non deep cycle battery may not provide the same number of shots per charge as an otherwise equivilently spec'd deep cycle battery. Also, a non-deep cycle battery may fail sooner if left constantly charging via the inverter.
