Kind of off the direct subject but I found a Power Sonic, based in San Diego, mdl 12330 gel cell in an electronics parts store. Same amp hours as the wheel chair battery, 33, but $80 instead of $114. That's the good news. The bad is hooked up with the two red wires leading to the rear of the bus to the hot side it works the frig and the pump but not the lights. They still come off the main battery. According to the stuff I took off the FAQ list it should work the lights as well. Anybody have an idea what I did wrong?
