The Battery Clinic 01/10
I HOPE YOU will indulge me as I
address a couple of nonbattery/charger
topics.
In the September column, I lamented

correctly falls under the topic of safety. So
with apologies to MA’s “Safety Comes
First” columnist Dave Gee, I will share
some letters from readers.
Kerswap comments begin with Will

where have we heard this
before?)

the sun, hopefully I will be around to
answer a few more.
Do you need more capacity or higher
voltage? Consider individual packs
harnessed together, in series or parallel.
Compared to a single “unit” pack,
harnessed packs have the following
advantages.
