Ecuador finally gets to thumb its nose to Great Britain. "While today is a historic victory, our struggles have just begun. The unprecedented US investigation against Wikileaks must be stopped," Assange said. What a baby. I wanna do what I want. Waaaaaa. Britain threatening to revoke...

I agree with mjmsprt40. AGM batteries are worth it, but they are designed for deep cycling applications rather than starting applications. You can certainly use an AGM battery as a cranking battery, but it becomes a pretty expensive starting battery. Unless you routinely leave the lights on and...

On the "starter cable", OK, now I know what you mean. You won't need to disable that. You can leave it alone, just the way it is. The charging current that comes back though it is uber minimal, literally a trickle charge to replace the amps needed to start the generator in the first place. It'll...

It seems you're trying to complicate the simple. I'm not sure why you are stuck on that distribution panel. It's a converter power center that takes 110-volt AC power and converts it to 12-volt DC current, and it's a battery charger. Adding a second battery charger like the CTEK, while it adds a...

Mine's kind of a spineless wuss, too.

Or you could just use a battery isolator that does all that automatically. Key on = connected. Key off = disconnected. All without having to wire it to the ignition.

That's to get you familiar with what they do. They make switches that transfer between three or more power sources.

I'll post mote later, but for now, seek out GoPower Automatic Transfer Switch. 30 amp should do it.

It's a good investment as long as you completely ignore what the reserve capacity can be used for.

I don't have a problem with toll roads, as they are a convenience that you don't have to use. The problem I have is when any of the toll money is diverted from the maintenance of the toll road itself. When that happens, you are no longer paying for the use of the road, but rather paying for all...

Source 1: Connecting the 12-volt output of a generator directly to the aux battery is not exactly the ideal way to charge the battery, unless the 12-volt output is designed to be battery charger, rather than simply 12-volts that will charge a battery. That's a dumb charger, and you want a...

You specified safe and proper. There ya go. You certainly don't necessarily need that brand or model, but you want something with automatic switching between power sources, unless you want to use manual switches like the kind from Blue Sea Systems for boats, but that will get really old after...

Best bang for the buck in cranking batteries is the Duralast Gold from Autozone. It's made by Johnson Controls and is internally identical to the Sears Die Hard Gold battery. Except it's considerably cheaper. Both have long warranties.

Sorry. What I meant to say was, don't be fooled by the big busted weather girl on channel 5. She's a trained killer.

What's black and blue and brown and laying in a ditch? A brunette who's told too many blonde jokes. What's a brunette's mating call? "Has the blonde left yet?" What do you call a brunette in a room full of blondes? Invisible.

Didn't take the New York Port Authority very long to throw Raytheon under the bus, tho.

That's an anagram for THICK INCHES. I sense a theme.

There was bubbling in the water and the sinkhole is near areas where there has been exploration for oil and gas in the past, which would make the presence of low levels of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) possible. The state's Department of Environmental Quality said water...

It also applies to the Petro. Lots of savings to be found with the AAA membership. One not to be overlooked if you are self-pay is the Prescription Savings program. Go the AAA website, then go to the Savings tab and click the AAA Prescription Savings link (you'll need to be logged into the...
