Howdy ICOM users ...
I am getting ready to set up a 12VDC emergency power supply, and was
thinking of using 2 golf cart batteries for the source, with a float
charger, and have my IC-756 P2, IC-2000 et al run from that source .. in my
looking `roun, I bumped into this site. Now, mind you, I am somewhat
familiar with battery usage and ham radio, on repeaters, and off-the-grid
setups, including KL7 land .. the hot thing if you had the bux was the NICAD
pocket batteries from Sweden. This site has some super data on
discharging, charging, etc... I have a couple of inverters to get my AC
from, I used to use one for running my IC-736 whilst camping, with very
little noise and few birdies (16ØM being most worster) ... so .. just
sharing ... 73, Mark AA6DX
