Well that's good news!

Well Richard You don't have to like my analogy. You are also welcome to continue to believe the 50% rule. Telling me to leave because you don't like my post is a little much.

URBAN MYTH, it ignores the repetitive charging required to operate this way. Here's an analogy: Suppose you have a hot water heater that can provide you with 1000 tanks of water but it will wear out at 7 years no matter how much you use it. If you shower every other day and have short navy...

Don't confuse AC grounds with DC grounds. Just because the neutral on the AC side is grounded to the frame doesn't necessarily mean the negative output is also connected, they may be separate. Just wire it the way it shows in the picture.

I still clean windows with it and it's an ingredient in Windex.

Ammonia is a chemical, nitrogen and hydrogen, it's not likely to be "absorbed" by anything the way a smell from an organic compound might. It boils at 29 below zero so it will dissipate by itself with a little help from air flow. I sort of figured it was an absorption fridge but you mentioned...

Change all your lights to LED (Amazon) and then you can forget them as a drain, I used to turn off lights my wife left on to keep from draining the battery but with the LEDs she can leave them on all she wants and I don't worry. The LEDs become such an insignificant part of the equation they can...

??? Compressor fridges usually don't use ammonia. Leave the fridge open and the smell should go away, ammonia has a very low boiling point so it'll just dissipate.

I just keep raising my prices (self employed) so that my income increases at the rate of inflation.

Isaac and I often disagree and here's a good example. That statement is just not true in this regard. If you hook your Lead Acid battery directly to your alternator it will charge as fast as the alternator can push into it. 4-6 hour? Make me laugh. When was the last time your car battery went...

The Stuart-Cassiar Hwy is a desolate 2 lane ribbon of road. For about half of the hwy there aren't even any poles on the side of the road because there is no hydro, phone or cable in that section of the province. It's beautiful but there isn't much on it.

I don't know why people would hate that, seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Where did you hear it? Do you a link or a reference?

Fuel injected or carbeurated?

That's probably what Jeff Bezos was counting on!
