Stupid battery and solar questions
I figure I am going to have a lot of them, so I better put all in one thread :B. My situation: - I mainly want solar for running residential freezer and fridge, maybe also for charging my shave ...

Thanks, guys! Almot especially, for the details.
True, the size/watt ratio is not great. But 65" is pretty wide to go crosswise on my new rig, will stick out. 51" is a lot nicer.
My current house battery was a used 150aH AGM I got 8 years ago for $75. Had to test a few to pick out a good one, but it has done me well.
Are the telecom batteries not used?
Anybody know a good deal for a pwm controller?
I do have one of those poor woman's trimetrics, still in box awaiting new setup.
What do you all think of the age of the solar panels?
I am jumping the gun, because I will not have access to my new rig to do cardboard layouts for a few weeks. But by then the panels may be sold. I just hate to pass up a potential bargain without investigating :)
