ps... about batteries.

I know a FLA sailor who's boat is electric (hybrid I think, with genset aboard), and his vehicle is 100% plug-in electric.

The point is, the batts are flooded nicads, mil-spec, bought second hand. They are THIRTY YEARS old, and still are performing ABOVE spec. Just amazing.

Some here might find this amusing, as Jerry's "eWoodie" has a wood/epoxy body! :
