I purchased one of these:

http://www.lowenergydevelopments.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=150

They're now selling them (80w) for $125.

Not sure how expensive their shipping is, but they had a courier come to pick up a large number of parcels while I was there picking mine up.

Also got a small regulator for $20 while I was there.

I see they've also got 105AH deep cycle AGMs for $199.

Aitken, I believe we can see a pattern of satisfied customers here. I am one also.  :cup: I've got 100A and 120A panels which are terrific.
