Sounds good on the test.
Power stayed on at my place, the high winds for my area got canceled, but we sure got the rain.
I am thinking of getting another solar panel to recharge up the Ark while on a week long summer trip since my Powerfilm foldable one I have now is mainly for the stock FJ...
That is weird, I have gotten up to four days off of the stock Panasonic battery in my FJ while running the fridge non stop one time.
A little hard to start the rig at that point, but it started.
No longer have that battery though, the FJ got a new battery earlier in the year, or last Christmas...
Ed, I have duals in my FJ, but first I want to test the resting voltage of each battery in the rig.
Really do not want to yank out the 2nd battery out there, as stuff I have hooked up to it will need to be reset which is kind of a PITA.
Thanks Nick, I notice that too with some of Amazon's Prime...
Now this is strange, it now says 12.6V and 100% charge.
Why do I keep getting the error messages though?
It will start to go into discharge cycle before long, and go back down to 12.3 to 12.4V.
Wall, we posted at the same time.
Not going to spend $200 plus on another battery just yet until I hear from Ark that they suspect it is the battery.
Maybe I can trade in this Exide on a Sears battery.
To much of a hassle to return it to Amazon, especially since the two boxes it arrived in are...
OK just for a test I went to the other room where the Ark is and turned on the LED screen and it had been on the charger all night.
Battery was in alarm mode, so I unplugged the charger for a bit, and the LED screen came back to 12.4V after I pushed the info button for a second.
First time...
Ed, what is the highest voltage you saw yours at while on the charger?
Mine has been off and on the charger all week long, and it is sitting right now at 12.4V and 96%.
Some is going on with mine, as it will not get at 100% now.
Thank you very much Paul.
Will have a review of a lot of equipment next spring/early summer.
But will test it out when I get it.
Been needing something heavy duty for the chuckbox.
PS, forgot to mention, if this is thin enough, I can also carry it on the mattress of my AirLander.
Will have to...
You are welcome Paul.
One of the smaller tables makes more sense since I will probably end up carrying it in the rig.
I was going to measure the base of this morning before leaving for work, but I forgot, will do that when I get home.
Then I can match the foot print of it to one of your other...
Arghhhhhhh, woke up this morning and the LED screen is flashing a warning to check my battery, same as it did a week or so back.
Have it unplugged right now, and will plug it back in and turn the LED back on.
Do not know what is up with that, and it was at 12.4V.
Hello Paul, just ran across your tables again after seeing it in the toolbar at the top of the forums.

I currently have two table you need to unroll the slats and out them on the frame with the...
Behind the tree when I pee, I sit down for mr brown.
I get about three uses out of a wag bag in my Pett toilet.
Less when the GF has come along.
I just ordered a Trasheroo from WIl today too, so I will be using it to haul the bags back home to dispose of.
Better than carrying them in the back...
Creative new mosquito repellents are coming, scientists say
Front page of the Seattle Times this morning, and Bill Gates is one of the backers.

I too have used them as a fire starter, and also used the much smaller packs or wax/sawdust fire starters.
A lot of the places where I go for free has no firewood down so to speak, or the wood is wet, so these are a great catalyst to get a fire going.
I also now have the Camp Fire In A Can as...
Here is their US site, these tents are made in Italy since 1958, so they have been around a very long time.
