Hey Rupert
I am keen on sticking to the original system.
My box saloon 6 volt battery has lasted in good working order for 8 years (just changed it).
Cost now £65.
It is 80 amp hours - so you can run at a big discharge for a long time at night.
The secret is to look after batteries, I always leave mine connected to an Optimate when in the garage - great piece of kit.
The other thing is to set the charge rate low, then your dynamo will work reliably for many many miles.
