Default Re: Solar Panels on TM??

Bruce,

Thanks for the heads-up on Liquid Nails.  I've used it for wood applications, but never realized it could be used in dis-similiar applications.  Guess I'll have to tell my wife that I have to spend more time in the hardware store so I can catch up on my knowledge  
Right!

I do like the idea of being able to keep your batteries topped off with the fixed setup.  I have to store my unit away from home so I wind up lugging the batteries back and forth and in and out.  At some 60# apiece its not the thrill it used to be.   :P

And by the time you are ready for your next TM hopefully solar technology will be even more advanced and you'll want newer panels anyway.  I was recently reading somewhere that the next generation of solar cells will generate over five times the power for the size.  So panels the size of our 75w would be rated closer to 400w...over 20amps per hour in direct sun.  Won't that be great?
