    Car stereo battery lots o $$$?

    I already have a 1F cap and it helps but it is not enough. The amp i have is a Orion d1200 that will do 1200 peak but at least it is class d. I like the dual battery idea makes lots of sense. This is all in a 2000 S10 that has a stock 100amp alternator so that should be enough for now. Thanks...

    Went a little Green.

    bluecrow76 a charge controller is included with the kit. I have already made some adjustments to the angle of the panels. I found that when they have less tilt I can get a lot more out of them early morning/late after noon. Even on a crappy rainy day I average .5 amps, that's more then enough...

    Went a little Green.

    Bought a kit at harbor freight. Now I can recharge all of me battery's guilt free. My only question is should i cycle my new deep cycle battery a few times or are these good to go out of the box?

    lead solder

    I have also found the lead free stuff does not mix well with the older stuff so if you are repairing anything more then a year or so old you don't want that problem.

    lead solder

    The lead free stuff is junk imho, get the rosen core 60/40.

    Maha C9000 right slot resets the unit

    Could be a defective wall wort, try using the car adapter to see if the problem goes away. I happen to have 2 wall wort's so if that is it I will give you one of mine if you pay shipping.

    ROV Hybrid AAA's - not graceful agers!

    I would bet the charger is killing them. How hot are they after a charge an what charge rate are you using? I own both the bc900 and the mh9000 and I never use the bc 900 any more due to overcharging.

    Test Results for Accupower Evolution C Size Low Self Discharge Cells

    If you want to ship a couple of these to me I will run any test you want and I would pay to ship them back. Any thing to help out CPF. If I owned a device that needed some C sized cell I would buy them and run them through my cba II for you but unfortunately I don't. Sorry.
