5-6 hours? That's it? My vent goes 12-18 hours on a deep cycle
battery. It's a LP-6 vent (Life Products). Maybe it's just the type of
battery you're using. But you shouldn't be limited to such a short time
on the battery. The LP-6 is a great vent: pretty lightweight and
sturdy. For those of you with active lives, I highly recommend it.
