How's the battery life working out for you?

Battery life is quite acceptable.

It is a 12V 5 Amp-Hour battery and even allowing that I don't want to deep-cycle it (that's very bad for lead-acid batteries) I figure it will run the empeg for at least eight hours. In a preliminary test, I ran the empeg non-stop for four and a half hours, and the battery voltage had dropped from 13.2 volts at the start to 12.2 volts at the end.

At my normal usage, if I put the battery charger on it every three days, I'll be fine. I have the same plug on the battery charger that the empeg uses, so I just unplug the power lead from the empeg and plug it into the charger.

However... [pause for dramatic effect] not all is sweetness and light in bikempeg land. See my latest post in General...
