Re: (ET) External charger question

["Bob Rice" <bobrice snet net>]

 Hi Electrakers;

  I dumped my On bored charger first thing, it didn't work, and I had a 
Lester Matic Golf cart charger kicking around. Unlike an electric car, you 
don't travel far from your charger, so why CARRY it with you? The empty 
space up forward, is great for installing your MG set for 120 volt 60HZ 
everywhere you go.For the next power outrage I can drive up to the house and 
run the fridge with a 'stench chord! IF you have one of those great MG sets? 
I don't think they are very common, though. Too bad ,as they will run hard 
starting stuff, likre fridges and water pumps.

 I also charge fast with my PFC -20 CAR charger. Pull traction fuze out and 
run a set of jumper cables over to the car and crank down the charger to 36 
volts. You can even use those crappy no. 10 gage wire "Jumper Cables" they 
sell at Wall *Mart and Auto Zone!

   Seeya

   Bob, betya some MG sets show up at the swap meet?
