Hi, Jay, and anyone else that's interested.
Might as well get a monitor, too. Like the Bogart Trimetric or the
Xantrex.
Outback has a good one also, but they're more expensive and may be
overkill for you. They work sort of like a gas gauge for your batteries.
Really nice to know just where you are, regarding % of charge or
discharge.

Look here for more info on monitors.

And here for more than you ever wanted to read on 12 volt power

Someday I'll think all my comments through and get it all together before
writing. But not yet, it seems.
