This group has been very slow lately, but you       might receive a useful answer or two.              My answer:              Stop running your battery down! Sucking your battery dry is the worst       thing you can do to it. My brother lived with a tiny system like you       described for several years, but you must watch your battery voltage and       be prepared to turn off your inverter before your battery gets to low.              Do most of your computing during daylight hours and then unplug the       router, computer, and perhaps even the inverter. If your inverter draws       too much no-load power, you may want to unplug it when you go to bed.       You can buy excellent 12-volt LED light bulbs that work without an inverter.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
