I solved it..... When not in use charge a leasure batteries. Thats what I
do. I'm out all day, so I use a lead acid leasure battery (more deep cycle
than a car battery, but outside they look the same. Its the way the plates
are made). I run solar because I live in a sheltered valey. There is not

Despite the banter going on I'm keeping a check on crude-oil prices. It

Our gym at school is now heated by heat pumps. It's like the domestic
freezer in reverse, the box gets warmer for those who don't know. Other
wise it's just bigger, farmer's barn sized box. The heat sources is fresh
air blown through the evaporators. Note it has a regular defrost in below
freezing or low temprature weather and a cloud of steam comes out of the
outside boxes when this happens for a couple of minutes or so.
