    Jason I have nothing against you, I believe the advice you have given to me, is probably sound.. you seem to know what your talking about when it comes to this subject.  and like I said I appreciate your opinion..

    Jason, Allow me to be frank you with. I understand and respect your position and opinion.. however I do believe it is a little one sided and you have reason for that, you are in the process of starting a battery company..  That said, I have been in sales a few times in my life. In my personal...

    '08 Chevy Uplander | Charging System Failure

    I am assuming your alternator is included in your serpentine belt system.. Have you tried replacing the belt?? I mention this because you say it is only happening in the rain, which could mean your belt is slipping.. so it could be the belt has stretched or it could be the tensioner..

    wow some of them going pretty cheap.. I wonder how much mechanical work they need.. I think the only way I would buy at action is to buy in person..

    Would make a nice big camper...

    I agree, wow look at that storage.. I have have more than double the space I have now.. I know nothing about the engine in it. fairly high mileage, But I bet it has a lot of good life left.. 8 cylinders is going to be a gas hog, that would be my only gripe

    Exactly, if you buy a lifepo4 for $800 and a year down the road it craps the bed for what ever reason.. that is a pretty large expense.. especially when you can buy 8 cheap AGM batteries for $800

    Understood, and yes, I would have everything first then connect it all.. I also saw someplace that you need to connect things in a certain order.. I will certainly pay good attention to that..  I considered the wally batteries, then I hear they were crap.. But heck I think for me as long as it...

    Yes the does help, what was the cost of your battery? I may just forget about the small generator.. Like you said I can get close to the same system you have for about $400 Maybe slightly more because I know I want the 30a dc-dc dual input charger from renergy...  I am also sending a DM

    Looking for a free campsite?

    you know I agree with what some have said, when you start sharing places, eventually some will come along and ruin the experience for everyone.. For a combination of reasons I am sure. But I think the Number one reason is education.. Then of course you have those that do not think about anything...

    You have misread what i am saying, I never said I want to run a compressor fridge off of a small portable generator, my thought for the small generator was to just give me a start. Powering 4 1Ah computer case fans, led lights, and charging my cell phone.. Never have I mentioned that I want to...

    charging lipo pack from load off another solar system

    I would be interested to see what kind of answers you get.. From what I have learned, I think it might depend on your Controller for one thing. you already able to charge the jackary via 12v socket.. so with my limited knowledge, I don't think that is an issue.. you can do it from your car, so...
