[WARC] Weekend on Wheels - Help Needed

I have a 26 amp/hour battery that is in new condition. Normal 2 meter 
mobile rig draws 0.25 amps on receive. Take my battery down by 80% gives 
you 20.8 amp hours. That is 83.2 hours of receive. Let's figure 5% 
transmit time (generous) at 2 amps (generous). Average current draw is 
0.95*0.25+0.05*2=0.3375 amps. 20.8 amp hours / 0.3375 amps is 61 hours. 
Should work.

Can have it sitting by the door at my office. Will be out tomorrow, so 
someone will need to pick it up. It has big alligator clips and a 
powerpole connector on it.

Let me know if you want it. Can also supply a 2 meter rig with it.
