E-meter [RE-wrenches]

[allan]

Travis,
    P.S....According to what I have been told (primarily Kim at Dankoff)
Concordes have no limit to the C rate under charge.  I guess you could do a
C/1 if you wanted.  That info may apply to a discharge rate too, I dunno.
    I agree with you on posting manuals in PDF on the web.  I think I'll be
working with Windy tomorrow on an old Jake refurb.  I'll promote the idea.
Allan at yadda, yadda, yadda
