      I'm new to this Google Groups thing. It looks like this thread had died out a       while ago. But by the comments I've read here, you guys know what you're doing.       My question here is, I have an old "Mallard" mobile home trailer type thing       that I use as a summer camp. I just got a small solar panel, battery, and       inverter system hooked up to it. The lights that are used are all hooked up to       a 12v car/deep cycle type        of battery system. I want to go at least 24v to make it more efficient. But       the downside to this is, the light system it has is only for 12v. What can I       use to step down the voltage for the lights?              Also, I had a generator hooked up the electrical system and when I plugged the       power to the generator, the generator started going overtime like it was       struggling to keep on until I unplugged it. What can I do to fix that? A       neighbor said to install        thinner power cords to the trailer but I feel like that won't really do much.               Any help is appreciated!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
