Hopefully I'll be able to get back in time to make a showing at the land. (With very few tools and as of yet no power.) Not sure how that's going to work out, but I'll be using an inverter running off the battery in the falcon and hope it will be enough.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-4584852446868350342010-01-05T18:59:19.317-06:002010-01-05T18:59:19.317-06:00Hot Dam!

Nice trick rejuvinating the batteries.<br /><br />Great to hear about the good neighbors. Friendly, helpful people nearby is always a plus.<br /><br />Good luck with the next phaze.Allen Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500590136731959920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-15171733501204357632010-01-03T14:48:42.408-06:002010-01-03T14:48:42.408-06:00Nupe...

Guess I was assumin, but if I do 2 sets of 2 batteries as you say and they are working and then do two more sets like that, but they ain't working (look like they're connected, but ain't) then I figure that should pass. How are they going to know? The battery in the falcon now died about 6 months ago and I did the same thing to it. Been working like a new one ever since. I've got a few members that have done the same with the same results. If a plate isn't totally fried the battery should be a good candidate. I hope to get at least 8 good batteries out of the deal. If not then I'll try the old bluff.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-18524237019263604092010-01-03T09:44:09.529-06:002010-01-03T09:44:09.529-06:00Oh Oh....did I hear ya say 4 6 volt batteries are ...Oh Oh....did I hear ya say 4 6 volt batteries are gonna give ya 800 amp hours at 12 volts??? Well it would if'n ya was gonna have a 6 volt system, but I know ya ain't. When ya hook up two 6 volt 200 amp hour batteries in series, the voltage doubles, but the amp hours remain the same (200 amp hours @ 12 volts). Would take 8 batteries, 4 sets of 2 to make an 800 amp hour battery bank. But shoot, you already knew that....right???<br />Good luck with the rejuvenate'n.Billy Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10549232524429115454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-41131882648363621422010-01-03T06:24:24.002-06:002010-01-03T06:24:24.002-06:00MsB, I'm past the point of no return now so th...MsB, I'm past the point of no return now so that's a little unsettling, but I think I can have a livable place by the deadline.
