This makes the point that some wishes may be effected by the
inclusion/exclusion of other items on the list. Backup for the EPROM
should rank way up there with silent sell. Perhaps a seperate group of
wishes should address physical placement of temperature probe socket,
ac/DC enclosures, etc.
In regards to the lower charge settings to protect gel cell batteries, I
disagree. There are so many more flooded cell batteries out there in SW
based systems (for good reasons) that defaulting to a lower voltage will
likely cause a larger number of flooded batteries to make an early trip
to the recycling bin. 14.4 is too low for most applications -- Kurt
