They are not car batteries. They are power source batteries. They will start
your car, but they are designed to run peripherals. Like in an RV, the TV,
radios, blenders, lighting, etc. If your battery will power you radio for two
days, these things will run it for a month non-stop 24 hours a day.

money...sorry, just my .02
