[NSRCA-discussion] Curmudgeon's Rant

[Rex LESHER]

Hey Chad, how's that big deep cycle battery doing?   I used my Honda 2000 at Aldergrove all weekend on one tank of gas. Nine charges for 10s/5300's, six charges 10s/6000's, Plus a couple receiver batterys .  Didn't have to black out the motel!!!   LMAO.... 
Talk about been there done that....   YES YOU HAVE!!!!!    

Rex

  I never measured them directly for current, just voltage.  It would do a 
  single 5s pack.  They work great for the smaller stuff, but dont handle 
  10s very well in my experience.

  I think guys will start to realize the value of an Iota when they start 
  dragging around 6 computer power supplies to do the same job :)  Been 
  there and done that, and wont be going back regardless of cost!
