Recently I went to use a AGM battery I had and it was dead, cracked and not useable, so I went to my backup 2nd battery, dead too. dang it. So much for having those batteries for "just in case", guess I'll have to buy some new ones...

Being a Amateur Radio Operator, I've seen and used some nice generators, battery systems and solar setups for the field day competitions each summer.

This will be an interesting thread to see what comes of it.... I'll stand by...
