Thank you,


     Here I've been flailing about, failing by sheer luck and never knowing there were kind people out there to help me down that path. Your page was kind of like, Otherpower - Unplugged!

I believe you forgot:


Never add water to your batteries, they're heavy enough as it is that they're already a pain in the @$$ to replace every 14 months...


Been there done that, got that t-shirt 'n burned it... heh


Other than that, I think you 'bout got it covered... LMAO
