    CTEK 250S Poor solar performance

    After spending 8 days on a remote mountain top relying on the CTEK 250s to charge batteries from solar, I can wholeheartedly say DO NOT buy their 250S product if you need decent solar performance. Charging from the alternator, it does fine/as expected. The charge times are insanely long as it...

    Quick Question: Should I look for light weight tires or does it matter? Not sure they have to match size/weight/tread pattern of my jeep as carrying a spare for each is no big deal. This thing loaded will likley be less than 1000lbs (its barely over 350# now). Suspension is currently leaf...
