I took your email off of your profile and it had a weird prefix ******@ mail.com, was that the right email?

As Ed said, in larger purchases such as this or ones that will essentially be long term purchases, I have rarely regretted spending the extra money.Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-50446181999411284562022-05-21T10:15:26.956-04:002022-05-21T10:15:26.956-04:00Thanks, Wyomingheart!Thanks, Wyomingheart!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-63928382133661284332022-05-21T08:43:13.592-04:002022-05-21T08:43:13.592-04:00Wow!

It's difficult to understand (and remember!) definitions for things that can't be seen, such as voltage, current, and power. One of the reasons I put it in my blog posts is for a record and a reminder!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-45090124784564081952022-05-21T06:25:42.677-04:002022-05-21T06:25:42.677-04:00I don't understand the math, but it sounds lik...I don't understand the math, but it sounds like a great upgrade! ;0D<br />Let the sun shine in! daisy ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129079277073067462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-70023009469949084692022-05-20T15:51:11.899-04:002022-05-20T15:51:11.899-04:00Boud, I've always said that the blessing of be...Boud, I've always said that the blessing of being poor is that I can't afford to make mistakes! I agree with "buy the best" or in this case, buy the biggest.<br /><br />Tpals, I'm sorry to hear that and fear we'll be in the same boat some day. And the price of batteries is (of course) going up.

It helped after our recent storm to run the fridge and freezers during the day, but I really wish I could afford to replace them.tpalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646231041413714929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-46348157055061431322022-05-20T13:30:31.146-04:002022-05-20T13:30:31.146-04:00I think there's a lot of risk in an expensive ...I think there's a lot of risk in an expensive purchase, where you can't afford an expensive mistake. It's enough to give you pause. That said, I've never regretted the "buy the best" the times I've done it. So there's that.<br />Also thank you for the lesson in battery use and pairing. Always learn something here.Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-52661589893622619972022-05-20T12:08:56.065-04:002022-05-20T12:08:56.065-04:00Ed, we find it to be the same, I think because suc...Ed, we find it to be the same, I think because such purchases are carefully thought out.
