<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The plan is to tie them together as a backup supply
for the entire shack in conjunction with an inverter (anyone got one cheap to
trade or sell?). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Total cash outlay so far, $18.00 ("core
value" for the two batteries). They were new, but on the shelf at
work since '05. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>They seem to be good as new after charging with my
Samlex APS 1215 (shown below, 15A cont., 20A surge) which will be devoted to
keeping them charged.</FONT></DIV>
