For anyone that has a verizon card for their laptop Verizon has lowered unlimited price from 79 to 59. They also have announced more Broadband cities. for more...
Thanks for that info. I am going to Apple or Mac Mall today to buy a Powerbook and was considering whether or not to switch my $45/month unlimited that I have...
Has anyone heard the rumors that there will be a California truckers strike on Labor Day to protest high gas prices? I am searching the Internet. Closet thing...
Put your phone on ICE Clark Howard recently talked about ICE, “In Case of Emergency.” And so many people have been asking him about it, that he wanted to...
I got the $59 deal (I had the $79 one already). Bummer was, I had to go to a Verizon store to sign a piece of paper since it entailed a new contract (couldn't...
Hi all: I have 3 good 50 watt ARCO Solar Panels that we had on our last boat and which I'd like to put on the Motor Home. I know there is a point at which...
... I, in a previous MH, had only one 90 watt solar panel and I used a controller with it. I'm just curious as to why you would consider any combination or...
... With 150 watts of panel, you are way over the limit for use without a controller, unless you are willing to religiously monitor the state of charge and...
Hi Mike, It would NOT be a good idea to connect three 50 watt panels directly to just two batteries. Without a controller you could overcharge, overheat or...
The rule of thumb is that you can charge any battery with about 10% of the Amp hour rating of the battery without harming them. If you have a 1000 amp hour...
Would guess the claim is the cloud acts like a lens in the sky concentrating the sunlight like your mirror example -- don't know if this is true or a ...
The "formula" you were thinking of was based on the idea of how much wattage could you feed a battery and not overcharge/damage it. As I recall (it was a 20...
Hi Art, I've already said I'm no "expert" in this field. Nevertheless, the next time you have a sky full of picture-perfect cumulus clouds, just watch the...
I have both DC and AC useage in my motorhome. I have seven solar panels and a wind generator with two gas generators. I have the old analog regulators, but I...
Neat system!! :) What are your two gas generators? What would you get if doing it over from scratch now? John ... From: rv_communications@yahoogroups.com ...
Take a look at <http://www.damouth.com/RVStuff/WinSol1.shtml> for a graphical example of "cloud effect". For the brief period when the cloud was close to,...

Hi Dave, Thanks for the Link to your chart and explanation. I suspect some here thought I had gone over the edge <vbg> when I introduced the term "Cloud...
Thanks, The backup generator is a ex1000 Honda and the primary is an Onan 4Kw. If I were doing it over from scratch now I would want a true sine way generator...

Guess I'm just being nit picky, but dpbbjc's original comment was "double the output". I can see minor variations such as on the graph but that is only a peak...
Hi Art, Yep, I would call 18 to 36 amps "double". I get this with "Cloud Effect" in Southern Arizona in the winter with my panels tilted about 45 degrees. ...
... But that's the wrong number anyway. It's 10% of the amp-hour rating, not the max discharge amps. In this case that's 10% X 2 X 90 = 18 amps. Gary -- Gary...
... RIGHT, it's 10% of the amp hour rating of the battery. Not cranking or starting amps. If your battery doesn't have an amp hour rating stamped on it, it can...
For the common Group/Size 24 battery the amp-hour capacity will be about 85. For the slightly larger Group/Size 27, it is about 105. 6V golf cart batteries...
