Cranking amps is different from the capacity of a battery, It's a complicated rating which is a function of both the battery capacity and the battery internal resistance. It is a useful rating for the engine battery, but it is totally useless when talking about the house batteries, which don't...

I'll concede the point.

No, you never said that "charge could be measured in amps." However, what you did say is equivalent. You said that battery capacity (which is charge) is measured in Amps. That's the same as saying that charge can be measured in Amps. Bty, you still haven't learned that Ampere is a proper noun...

NONSENSE Battery capacity tell us how much charge (Coulombs) can be drawn from the battery. Charge simply can't be measured in Amperes. The Ampere is defined as 1 Coulomb per second. Asking how many Coulombs per second are stored in a battery in completely meaningless. If you use an analogy...

First of all, battery capacity is measured in Amp hours, not in amps. Stating a battery capacity in Amps is meaningless. Secondly, you haven't provided near enough information to make any real calculations. At the very least the fully charged capacity, the internal resistance of both batteries...

This one is near the southern end of the Parkside National Recreation trail #103, in the Custer National Forest.

Telling people to get outriggers instead of learning to paddle, is equivalent to telling them to leave training wheels on their bike instead of learning to ride. Yes, you have a choice. You can either buy some expensive, cumbersome outriggers, or learn to paddle properly. These two photos...

If you and your wife are uncoordinated when paddling a canoe (not at all uncommon), it is because one, or more likely both of you have never been taught how to paddle properly. If your canoe zigzags instead of going in a straight line, you need to learn how to paddle. Good paddling technique is...

If you intend to do any more than playfully paddling around for a few hours, then you're neglecting to ask what might be the most important question of all. "What is the hull shape?" Understand that when paddling from point A to point B, a poorly designed hull shape may require 3X to 4X the...

Pure unadulterated nonsense. Today, things can be cut to virtually any tolerance imaginable. Besides, the stones at Puma Punku were most likely cut to a much looser tolerance than they exhibit now, and then polished to the their current tolerance. That's easy. anybody can do it if they have...

It would help if we had the model number.

I would be inclined to measure the voltage drop across the contacts with the switch (or solenoid) in the "on" position. Any voltage much greater than zero would suggest a problem with it.

Any service tech who needs to swap out a switch to see if it works, instead of using a meter, would probably have trouble diagnosing his way out of a paper bag. You need to find a tech who has at least half a working brain.

Without knowing what type of guage the are, it isn't possible to tell for sure, but the fact that both show the same reading suggests that they're reading pressure. Those guages are essentially useless. They will either ell you that there is at least some propane left in at least one tank, or...
