As the system settled in, we were getting 6 hrs. of battery time, at least 2ce a day. That's great, and what's been missing in my life...only using gas for 1/2 the day.

But, it didn't last.

Remember the problem with the big generator in the summer? It would shut off when it got warm, and we'd have to switch to the small one?

Well, this morning it hit 55 degrees, and the generator wouldn't run. The batteries weren't fully charged yet, so are on, but not for long.

We've tried to solve this gen. problem for 2 years now, and haven't been able to. Dh swears it's a sensor, but no one can fix it so far. I worried about this very thing with the batteries, but thought that I had until next summer to try again to figure it out. Apparently not.

I guess that we're going to have to disconnect the battery system, go back to using the generators 24/7, and spending the money on all that gas. I'm really disappointed.

I'm praying that Ds just hits on it, maybe has an epiphany suddenly as to what would solve it, and that that something is very, very cost effective.
