Re: (ET) Gauges and D.O.D

[Dave & Debbie Barden <daveb seanet com>]

that sounds kinda short all right. but I've not yet had the opportunity to 
run 
mine from full charge to time to charge, so have nothing to compare to.  
My 
batteries are going on two years old and sat unused until just about a 
month 
ago so I'll be curious to see how they perform and compare with others.

BTW  I got one of those 36v charge controllers from BZ Products to use 
with my 
solar panels.  I haven't got them set up yet but the controller has temp 
compensation and uses PWM which I am told makes it a desulfator.  Whether 
desulfators really work or not seems to be a matter of opinion...  Before 
contacting BZ the best retail price I found on the web was $85.  My cost 
direct 
from BZ was $50.  I would be glad to supply these to anyone here for 10% 
above 
my cost plus shipping.
