Is the alternator too small or what? What ever you remove from the battery has to be replaced by the alternator any way that you work it. If it is that close to going over the edge, you might save your self some grief and replacing it with a higher capacity one before it dies and leaves you stranded some where. just a thought. 73 AC0Y

I was thinking about putting a battery (this battery looks sealed - Power Battery Company PRC-1265) in the back and running everything off of it. There is a accessory plug back there that I was going to "charge" it off of. Is there any device that could be made that would automatically shut off when full charge is reached? I hope to run my laptop's inverter, dual band radio, 2mtr mobile (for APRS), tnc, gps off of this battery (if that needs to be considered). > Thanks and sorry for the OT, > Robert > > ________________________________________________________________ > The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! > Surf the Web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER! > Only $14.95/ month - visit www.juno.com to sign up today!
