Wind power

Troy, any plans to get the wind turbine back up? I know you had a bit of a twisted mess there after that storm.

Re: Welcome to the new chat room

Troy,

I sent you an email a couple weeks ago asking your address so I can send you some things. I know you're busy with a lot of things. Just thought I'd give you a heads up.

Re: Badini VS Equalize Charge

I understand what you're saying. I know my batteries have sat at something like 11.9 all winter. It's been pretty cold here in Ohio as well. The other day once it warmed up and got sunny, I was starting to see 14.3 volts, yet my ammeter was still showing that the controller was drawing about 5 amps....

Re: Badini VS Equalize Charge

I agree that and equalization charge is what you need Troy.

Re: Welcome to the new chat room

I think you need to look at how Howard Stern looked at things. People would get upset about what he had on the air. I dunno if he was getting trolled. But the thing he always said is "You're a listener, thank you!" Same thing should apply here, Troy. If they're trolling you, they're watching your vi...
