The problem with camping and RV'ing is that it is habit forming... in a good way.

Rather than start a new thread since everyone is here.. Any of you battery boys ever used one of THESE ?

SCVJeff... I am bumping this up... doubt you have any results yet, but aren't you doing the Rosebowl Parade setup tonight? :B

I had one in my hand the other day and it looks interesting. I'll get a chance to play with one in Q with a real live battery. Mebbe it's just me but bulb sticktion bothers me. I'm hoping to see solid repeatibility with this one.

It was actually Rose Parade.. Engineer in Charge of the broadcast for close to 30 years. Been there, done it, got the hat, it's just another show. SO... We're camping on the beach and I'll be happy to roll out of bed at 7:55 AM and turn on the TV.. :)

But I'm the only guy you will ever meet that's camped in a motorhome literally at the corner of Orange and Colorado on Jan. 1

:Thumbsup Noted Orange and Colorado. The tiny Man Cave will have to have it's Samsung 24" boobtube wait for it to get a little warmer before I go out to watch some undisturbed college bowl football today. 31F in the back yard this morning in the N SFV... Brrrr. Get out that temp compensated charge controller. Time for a Mimosa to warm up a bit this chilly AM, and what I didn't miss last night. Growing old is great!

Nope. A better mousetrap? A bobber is foolproof. Utterly. Nothing to stick, bend, get grimy, or whatever. I like my turkey baster too. Stick it into the acid and give ten vigorous squeezes. Manual stirring.

Oops, now I've went and done it...

Try dipping that Galaxy S2 battery and tell us if the cells are equalized?

This is a PDF catalog download. You want the NUMBER ONE MODEL SET. Freas calls it a set because it arrives in pieces, glass column, bulb, tip and bobber.

Tip: Telephone them and they react faster than they do for online ordering. They take all major credit cards.

I think the one my dad had was a Freas, but it's long gone. It had its own box, was well taken care of, rinsed, etc., and in the 30ish years I remember it, it looked like new. In LA smog, nothing short of a sealed bag will keep the ozone off it. I'm on my 3rd cheapie and it's showing its age already

Alright, post up the link to the "buy it now" button, already!
