Subject:      Batteries and solar panels!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Batteries have a way of suddenly reminding you that their time is up!  I've
had mine since 2007, when I replaced the battery that came with it.

For the past few days, I had the van plugged in and was testing the
fridge.  I might have accidentally had it on the wrong setting because when
I unplugged it and turned the key, the battery was very low, but not dead.
It's probably time to replace the 8 year old battery, so what is the best
choice?  (That battery was bought in a hurry, so don't know if it's the
best fit for power and physical size.)

Also, I now know that I never had the aux battery relay system.  I just
have an aux battery, and it's a little too large for the compartment it's
in. At some point within the time of a battery's life span, I plan to have
the relay system installed and get some solar panels.  I don't want to have
to repurchase any batteries due to poor planning.

Thanks!
