After charging 12 volt AGM battery with solar panel, voltmeter on battery terminals shows 13.13 volts. I pulled the camper into the garage and checked the Sunsaver 20L controller: the wires from the solar panel show 13.03 volts. After an hour, the solar wires show 11.6 volts and after five...

Wondering how many amps people are actually getting from their solar panels for their lattitude and time of year. I know there are websites for entering all the data to get the theorical output in volts, amps and watts. But that is not real world. What are you measuring in the field? How are...

The Berkeley, CA company, Bear Valley, that made them went out of business about a year ago. Their Meal Pack Pemmican bars were the best energy type bars I every tried and price was the best value as well. The product is listed on a lot of sites as no longer available and the company website...

Anyone used any of the devices designed to reduce wobble in receiver hitch devices such as my Yakima bike rack? I have wobble both up-down and side ways. Some devices are clamps, such as MaxxHaule and Blue Ox, others are square, rubbery inserts.

Lots of factors. What do you think? Not many out shopping now so demand is down. But then there are few trade-ins. Maybe the slack will be taken up by internet sales using photos and videos. What is happening with Craigslist sales?

What is the advantage of a smart battery monitor like the Victron BMV 712 or Trimetric 2030 over a a far less expensive alternative like the Wattsup power meter? Both measure volts, watts, amps and amps consumed over a 24 hour period(resettable). I have a single 12 volt AGM battery in my camper...

Total electrical noobie here. I have an AGM battery in my camper that will run a compressor fridge that has only a DC power supply with a cigaratte lighter dc plug. I would like to get a power meter like the Wattsup to measure how many amps are consumed over 1-2 full days. If I keep the fridge...
