  1. nice now you will not have to work as hard
  2. very nice
  3. I have 0 interest in it but this will carry it http://veetle.com/index.php/listing/index/80/popular/grid/0
  4. I did not say I agree I just understand their reasons for doing it.....and remember how many people lost jobs, hours and money with Harris at the helm......
  5. it is not best to slow charge them Battery charging takes place in 3 basic stages: Bulk, Absorption, and Float. Bulk Charge - The first stage of 3-stage battery charging. Current is sent to batteries at the maximum safe rate they will accept until voltage rises to near (80-90%) full charge level. Voltages at this stage typically range from 10.5 volts to 15 volts. There is no "correct" voltage for bulk charging, but there may be limits on the maximum current that the battery and/or wiring can take. Absorption Charge: The 2nd stage of 3-stage battery charging. Voltage remains constant and current gradually tapers off as internal resistance increases during charging. It is during this stage that the charger puts out maximum voltage. Voltages at this stage are typically around 14.2 to 15.5 volts. Float Charge: The 3rd stage of 3-stage battery charging. After batteries reach full charge, charging voltage is reduced to a lower level (typically 12.8 to 13.2) to reduce gassing and prolong battery life. This is often referred to as a maintenance or trickle charge, since it's main purpose is to keep an already charged battery from discharging. PWM, or "pulse width modulation" accomplishes the same thing. In PWM, the controller or charger senses tiny voltage drops in the battery and sends very short charging cycles (pulses) to the battery. This may occur several hundred times per minute. It is called "pulse width" because the width of the pulses may vary from a few microseconds to several seconds. Note that for long term float service, such as backup power systems that are seldom discharged, the float voltage should be around 13.02 to 13.20 volts.
  6. yeah that should be the right setting it will charge at 12amps till it hits 85% full then drop to 2 amps
  7. he is treating us like prostitutes he's paying us before he screws us then when we step outside he beats us and robs us......
  8. when ripping the weeds works...it works well..love it I am glad I am not old...still like my rock and roll
  9. I understand them doing that he did a lot to the teachers and they will never forgive or forget....... it may not be fair to the students, but it's a way to let people remember the slice and dice of our education system by mike
  10. I'm just glad I am not the only one that knew that line and found it funny

    Intro

    someone must have left the door unlocked, we have got a few people introducing themselves lately and that's OK the more the merrier ................welcome aboard
  12. did I miss something it would be hard to give him info on a charter without giving the name..... LOL
  13. read this thread about a charter link to charter U & Me Charter

    Howdy

    welcome aboard
  15. welcome aboard
  16. thanks for the good info
  17. Badgers We don't need no stinking badgers......... sorry, an old misquote
  18. too bad about the Thieves that is one brave bird
  19. looks like it's the same one irshfield got seems to work great
  20. Bait damn it........LOL
  21. nice looks like a great fishing trip tradition
  22. Wayne that camera is great.. and yes I did walk out on the water to take the shot of the boat..my father taught me how to do it thanks for add to the post Will did you catch the troll in the closet
