My MH battery bank consists of 3 Trojan SCS200(115ah). I have read articles
on the benefits of equalization for deep cycle batteries, but I would like
to hear from anyone who has actually done it.
One of the problems, if you wanted to do it, is the lack of portable battery

I bought 2 --  12" strips with 24 LEDs each at the "Big Tent" in Quartzsite. I

troubling, since I was planning to enter the Park at it's western
entrance (West Glacier) and leave through the eastern entrance (St.

I posted before that I drove from Dallas to NY (Churchville) to save 5000.00
on a Mountaineer by Montana. As I had said before the deal went thru and we
