12V Deep Cycle battery with Pure Sinewave inverter for tube amp?
If there is a danger with fumes releasing, would a gel type battery solve this problem? Yes, Sealed Lead Acid type of battery is the answer! However,  Gel cell batteries must be charged correctly or they will permanently reduces capacity.

Why do some manufacturers reverse preamp polarity in the first place?
