A temporary thing, mostly. That size cable is all that is required for those batteries (whatever is required for the inverter), but the reason for them is that the interconnects from the old bank were too short. Or, rather, they were just barely long enough, except that the terminals on these...

At most distributors, like golf cart places, those batteries are in the $250-$280 range, some are higher. Online they are mostly in the $220 range, plus LTL shipping. One place online is $185, where I got mine, Staab Battery, at the main location in Hazelwood, MO (St Louis), but they have...

Yup. All other things being equal, more lead, more weight, equals more amp hour capacity. Each step up within the same footprint is a little heavier a little more amp hours. The Trojan golf cart line, for example, has the: T-105 - 62 lbs, 220 H T-125 - 66 lbs, 240AH T-145 - 73 lbs, 260 AH Next...

Thanks. Yes, it's a 2500 Sprinter, model year 2005. As you can imagine, the gear on board reduces the load carrying capacity, pound for pound.

It's been a really long time since I've visited there. Thanks to this mention I (and probably many others) just went there (something that I'm sure Lawrence is just all school girl giddy about). It's certainly quieter over there, that's for sure. Not much banter, not much nonsense. What I heard...

I can't imagine someone trying to convince you EO doesn't have one, since it's not much of a secret (and, like you said, every board has one). It's called the Truck Wash Forum, a forum for moderators and admins only.

"... a declassified description of a discussion..." That's livin' on the edge right there. :D

I redid the battery bank in the Sprinter. Here's the old bank: Everstart Maxx Marine batteries from Walmart. They're hybrid batteries designed for trolling motor-type amp draws, so if your amp requirements are minimal (light, Espar, computer) then they're fine. Not so much with my...

Good morning. Not without risking a Code of Conduct violation, but I'll give it a try. You don't hear it, probably, because of you're accent. But most Brits, when they say the word can't, it sounds just like another word that Americans pronounce in a manner that begins with a "c" with the...

Every community has their Goober, and Barney, and Ernest T. Bass. This one is no different. Ya gotta luv 'em even when they drive ya nuts.

In my best British accent... "I can't."

Never gonna happen. If the chat rooms were started for banter, just like the non-banter threads will eventually have some banter tossed in with the important information that people come to this site to get, the banter'd chat rooms would have important information tossed in, as well. And since...

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone at Panther a Merry Christmas.

You guys are getting awfully worked up over something that doesn't matter very much in the grand scheme of things. You can either choose to be mad about the chatter, or you can choose to not be mad about it. Either way it doesn't make much difference.

Thanks, but credit goes to Bill Maher.

I'm not a big fan of the banter, which is why I stop reading the locations thread after the first couple of days, and then will only check on it once or twice during the remainder of the month. As long as the banter doesn't hijack or interfere with a thread, and it doesn't start until the thread...

When you pull up to the front of a convenience store, and there's someone just standing there doing nothing, maybe smoking a cigarette or looks like they're otherwise loitering, all too often they are standing there waiting for someone to pull up and run into the store real quick while leaving...

I've tried Chrome a couple of times, and like it, but there are 2 or 3 Firefox Addons that I really like which are not available for Chrome.

The only one to miss George Bush is that Iraqi guy with the shoe.
