Is that one way or round trip? If 30 miles is the round trip, then you need to convince your employer to let you charge at work.
30 miles one way i'm affraid! a recharge is essential. I work 12hrs in a day, so plenty of recharge time!
so you'll be giving the pack a pasteing twice a day
Shall I open a book on how long they last ............I'll start with 6mths, not long I'm afraid
Could be wrong but with the currents your talking about and discharge levels I really think your going to be running into issues after 6mths, Trojans are good batteries but I personally think you are taking them to the max..... and beyond.
