Hey Coley,

I was reading about your experiences with the MK batteries. I also spent some time reading the DEKA MK tech stuff. I think you are really on to something here. These batteries may not have the numbers people look for, but I think you get a lot more out of them. Their life cycles, application in cold, protection from over discharge (natural) etc are all good reasons for a good value. What do you think about using 13 of the 8G31 model for 156V to push a Mazda pickup? The discharge rates are pretty good also. Total weight would be under 1000 lbs also..

Cheers,

Gary

First test of the electric oil heater

I am driving mine back and forth to work and am wondering how the upcoming cold mornings will cut the performance.
This morning it was a little chilly and the windows were fogged up inside and out.
I installed an electric oil heater, in the rear seat area and had it on a timer to come on and warm the car about an hour before I leave for work.
Problems arose, when said timer failed to preheat the car!!
I wiped the windows down and started the heater while I did my horse...
