Ah,more solar folks,love it.

I have the JNC battery pack,the 660.Got it for the Jetta which was start perfect,next day the battery was TOAST,after a couple of those times got the jumper pack.Since sold vehicle and replaced with a nice original 67 Jeepster Commando,better for snow anyhow and no electronics nonsense.I can fit in a monster battery too,unlike barely eek in the tiny batteries many new vehicles have 'to save weight for economy',NO THANK YOU!

However,the alternator failed on the Dodge Cummins and it started TWICE with the Jumper pack,Im sold on em.Before I did the truck solar.

On my 300 watt inverter fan was noisy as well,saw a guy who said just cut the wire on em,not needed anyhow.He was right,little 300 wattters produce so little heat,so I did it,no problems,then again I really dont run that one hard.

Agree on the LED strings,not great light but darn nice on a porch or kitchen,you can see anyhow.For very little energy use.Actually its a really soothing light on the porch.

Been experimenting with LED light bulbs.Got a couple from Deal Extreme and they are NICE,ran bout 8-10 dollars.If you order from them read ALL the reviews,most are junk but they usually have a few that have all the right stuff.

Yes,keep us updated on all your solar toys....whatta ya think of the Lithium 100 amp hr batts....weigh 28 lbs for 700 bucks but can be discharged 100%.... times 2000 cycles and only lose 25% capacity???? At that performance comparable cost wise to lead acid over lifespan.Read they dont know yet how long they will last at 80% discharge,amazing!!!! Battery tech is FINALLY going to shake up our world,prices dropping,love it!

BTW,since 2001 over a million Prius's have been sold and Toyota claims they havent seen a single battery pack wear out yet,amazing!

Alternate energy is in a Golden Age right now,cheap (Panel prices down 75% in last three years,wow!) and innovations all over,a perfect storm!
