I talked to a fellow who has one. He says it takes forever to recharge with a 120 VAC plug but he doesn't care. He lets it sit overnight recharging. The 240 V charger is not expensive. Not using 240 V affects the lifetime of the batteries. The higher voltage allows for cell equalization cycles. Without periodic equalization the internal resistance of the battery increases due to varying cell voltages in the array. The fourth or fifth place I called finally had one so I had to go to Cheshire Bridge Road, which is a seedy nearby neighborhood filled with strip joints with comical names. The web site says the place is next door to the Terrific Package Store. Hey, that's where I work! Well, not in the strip joints (Adult entertainment. Entrance in rear. touts one sign.) But, my office is a mile away on Piedmont Rd.

And the original, Original International House of Pancakes by the Tara Cinema where the food is free but they charge for the entertainment. It is run by an Original Cast of Characters. I was there one day when a snooty businessman at the counter complained are you ignoring me or what?!? One of the waiters, a flamboyantly gay 60-something guy said, Don't take it personally, honey; we ignore everyone. - Jed
