Let me offer my most heartfelt thanks for publishing the Battery FAQ. I am an electrical engineer, and I find that the whole arena of lead-acid batteries is one of the most misunderstood topics I have encountered. Problem is, it SEEMS so simple, and there is so much mis-information and pure BS advertising hype out there, that everybody and his brother thinks they understand it, and that they are experts.

I belong to a Solar Power Forum where this problem arises quite regularly. People invest tens of thousands of dollars in their systems, and then beat the hell out of their batteries, and wonder what went wrong. I am pleased to be able to quote a bit of knowledge from your site, and then add a link to the rest of it. When I do, I can almost hear the ethereal sigh "Ooooh, so that's what happens! That's how it works!"
