Just amazing how one battery freak could come here and get all this babysittin hi voltage stuff started, then sucker so many others into it too, all thinking they are outsmarting all the "REAL" battery,....and battery chargers engineers ???
I never in a hunerd years will figure out what the big deal is about simply charging a couple,,,,maybe 4 batteries in a couple hrs time w/ a good 3 stage charger, and make batteries last 8 to 12 yrs while doing it.
I been doin it for many years, w/ out any problem whatsoever. Is it that I'm older, smarter, and wiser than most, or is it that I have a "real" life !!
Who is the mystery character that has had the following experiences?
Honda Eu1000i generators never has any problems with jets clogging on gasoline with ethanol. The rest of us are making this "surging" problem up, with the motor not holding steady rpms.
Car jar type "Group 24,27, 29 and 31" batteries for dry camping are the best value. The "my screwy 31" thread is an anomaly, despite all the measurements taken over time, over years, of usage and recharge cycles.
Running 10 gauge wire for 6 feet for a 60 amp Boondocker won't cause any problems with bulk charging.
The "Jr's special" solar charge controller from China works fine... he buys ten of them on eBay and sells them down in Quartzsite in the winter, every year.
The rest of us,the majority, based on mechanical, chemical and electrical theory, schooling, college and on the job education, and personal experience, are just plain wrong.
Babysitting solar panels all day hanging off the back of your RV trailer hitch, while staring at the three red blinking dots on your Jr's special solar battery charge controller is a good use of your time.
All of the above is just IMHO, was never observed, and is the machinations of a fictional character RV camper down in Quartzsite AZ's Mickie D's at 4 AM in the morning, that I am writing about in a fictional RV camping adventure novel. I suffer from Tropical Delusions, I never saw it happen.
I swear, I get better winter weather predictions from a groundhog.
