GL: Battery-inverter-charger questions

[Ron Rogers]

The Magnum inverter/charger has a temperature sensor feature. 27 years ago, 
John Surette was recommending Hydrocaps. Perhaps today's knowledge gives 
better insight into their operation, but as long as you have a truly modern 
charger with , I don't see a problem. I do think that price might rule them 
out. Platinum is not getting cheaper.

| p. 33 of Calder's book mentions Hydrocaps with regard to temperature 
control
| of the batts. They add to temperature control problems of the battery.
| I interpret that paragraph to be that they should not be used unless a
| temperature sensing circuit is installed for the batts.
