    It doesn't. It gives you 8V of power. :D RLENT's L-16 are the 6-volt batteries. The L16 is a BCI (Battery Council International) battery size, like the Group 27, Group 31, Golf Cart. The L16s are mostly designed for floor scrubbers, in the 6-volt configuration. For the 2-volt configuration...

    Well, I dunno. Dave said that he, "wouldn't waste [his] time with a carrier that their apparent focus is on foolish game playing." And he stated, "I have little patience for gameplayers. "Both are pretty broad statements, both valid, directed at no one, and doesn't call anyone a name, except...

    Because those time periods can become very blury depending on who is doing the interpretations, and why they are doing them. Far too often things get interpretated so that it makes for convenience. For a book that's supposed to be timeless, nay, eternal, there seems to be an awful lot in there...

    6 V versus 12 V House batteries

    Well, the charge on a 12-volt deep cycle battery is a deep cycle charge, too. ;)

    Most of the hard core Orthodox Jews and a few extremists still follow all of the laws. The rest, same as countless others, pick and choose. I wont comment on marking oneself for the dead.

    I have't given my two cents on this, mainly because I wouldn't have been anywhere near as nice and polite and diplomatic as Dave has been. But I gotta ask, what names, exactly, did Dave call someone? Because I've read every post in this thread and I didn't see him call anyone anything.

    I find it funny that people do that with nearly every verse in the Bible, both Testaments. The thing about picking and choosing parts of the Old Testament you don't like is, if you dismiss one thing in the Old Testament because it's in the Old Testament, then you must dismiss all of it. Every...

    How is your 2012 so far?

    I was home for the holidays and came back out on Jan 9th. Since then I've had 6 loads, 1492 miles, 594 DH + 263 EM. Wrong place at the wrong time, apparently. A lot. Still, amazingly, even with all those unladen miles, my rate per mile is, uhm, very good. Above the average for loaded miles for...

    6 V versus 12 V House batteries

    The Peukert Effect is kind of like fuel mileage. When you drive slower you get better fuel mileage, more miles to the tank. When you drive fast, fuel mileage goes down, fewer miles per tank. It's the same with batteries, where if you draw amps out very slowly, you get more amps from the battery...

    You think nearly 2.4 billion acres, 97.7 percent of all the land of the United States of America, doesn't adequately cover the casino revenue taxes? I think it does. If anything, they've still got a little store credit coming. Maybe give 'em a coupon or something... for shoes, or a coat, or...

    So only taxed, property owners should be allowed to vote? The right to vote depends on the size of your wallet? Really? Why should Indians pay taxes on property which the federal government will not allow them to actually own outright? Even individually titled land on a reservation is still...

    New rescue needed?

    Obama's race baiting and class warfare tactics are certainly good examples of what Thich Nhat Hanh was talking about.

    NA cards in the US are different than those in Canada. The Native Americans and their status is quite different, as well. The Indians of the US fought hard for their citizenship (Indian Citizenship Act of 1924). Not only was (is) dual citizenship of the Tribe and the US allowed, it's a de facto...

    6 V versus 12 V House batteries

    You should see an L-16 floor scrubber battery. It's kind of like a taller golf cart battery, but about an inch wider. It's 120 pounds. And that's for 6-volts. They also have it in 2-volts, same size and weight. One 2-volt cell at 120 pounds. You need six of those for a 12-volt battery. That's...

    At first, while learning the phone, you're gonna use a lot of bandwidth, especially if you use Siri. But if all you're been doing is e-mail and EO, then clearly the bandwidth mountains of EO ads are to blame. :D The Aircard is $50 now. Hasn't been $60 for quite some time. The 5 GB data plan on...

    No, it's blatant discrimination against Indians, with political overtones. There's a history of it there. You didn't read the article, did you?

    Well, not exactly. It doesn't forbid cutting beards and sideburns specifically for Jews, Jews, and only Jews, it forbids cutting them for idolatry and pagan ritual. Now available at Amazon, The New Modern Bible, Convenient Edition. Doesn't mean you'll get it. Actually, no, logical fallacies are...

    Members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota, a heavily Democratic group, are getting only six days for early voting in the presidential primary election, while the rest of the state gets 46. The man they are suing is Jason Gant, who is not only the secretary of state, which means he...

    Do you really wanna go there? Really? Okie... So, anything in the Old Testament can simply be ignored? Got it. I don't think that's a road you want to go down, tho. There are plenty of things which are only forbidden in the Old Testament which are not mentioned in the New Testament. Does that...
