Thanks for your reply.
Obviously, you're not a Nintendo commando, but a real baby-killer.
I was way off the mark. A gulf of misunderstanding.
Communication breakdown. We're all much worse off than I've anticipated.
Perhaps our current troubles don't have their root in agriculture, as some
have suggested, but written language. I am awed by the power of the non sequitur...
Dry-charged lead acid:
Agriculture is tough without irrigation. I homestead on top of a hill. Water at bottom of hill, 1/4 mile distant. Pumping that water would make gardening easier. I would like to use an LCB. However, to beat voltage drop, I need an LCB rated for 90v, and a pump/motor, 90v/2A. This would necessitate linking several of my panels in series, at the expense of my wattage, which I'd like to avoid. Hence, I'm back to using batteries/inverter/diode-bridge. The batteries are the weak link between myself and supper. Thus, I think it worthwhile to get a few extras. Also, I am planning a move to a remote geography, and if this is successful, I'd like to take a few spares with me. There will come a time when replacements and spares are unobtainable, especially at the far reaches of the supply chain. Might need to charge the night-vision gear; who knows?
