[RE-wrenches] Best Battery

[Ray]

I agree, the AES has a much friendlier voltage range.  Thanks for 
sharing, Dave.  I also do not use the RE Optics, I've moved away from 
Outback as well, after having issues with the FXR line, tech support, 
and wiring in the tiny enclosure that comes with the Radians.  Had 
decent luck with Magnum, but always room for improvement too.  Honestly, 
nothing now is that much better than the old Trace SW line, and that had 
plenty of its own issues.

Still waiting for inverter comm to catch up with the rest of the world, 
and be a simple plug and play, connect via blue tooth, set all the 
parameters in a Windows/ easy to navigate screen with tech manuals all 
accessible right in the app's help menu........
