I plan to pick up a 12V laptop supply from the local computer recycler (FreeGeek). They sell them for about $2.TimKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09059780797709299125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270124316233555550.post-34919924846108323062007-07-26T08:27:00.000-07:002007-07-26T08:27:00.000-07:00Another thought on the battery box fan issue: I ha...Another thought on the battery box fan issue: I have the same issue and will solve it one of two ways: (I'm not sure a small AC, doorbell-type transformer will power the DC fan.)<BR/><BR/>1) I'll go to Radio Shack and see if they have a similiar sized 110 VAC fan that I can power directly from the interlock relay ... or<BR/><BR/>2) Buy a small computer power supply that puts out 12 VDC. They are pretty cheap ... probably under $20 on eBay. (I'm not in any hurry, since I can put a small charger on the aux. battery until the power supply arrives.) Another alternative might be found at Wal-Mart in the form of a small "battery maintainer," i.e. an AC/DC converter/battery charger.Roger Daisleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752698755981213856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270124316233555550.post-5855992113144375912007-07-26T05:28:00.000-07:002007-07-26T05:28:00.000-07:00I'm glad to note the battery hookup problem.

I'm using the same batteries and am about two days away from installing the copper bus bars from EA.<BR/><BR/>When I picked up my batteries from the distributor in Spokane, I was told that single caps are available. I'm getting on the phone this morning and ordering them!Roger Daisleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752698755981213856noreply@blogger.com
