A few inches of 16 gauge wire is not going to impact the voltage seen by the starter motor (4 mOhm per foot). At least, it will be on par with the internal resistance of the car battery, especially when it starts to get weak. > > > Yes, i am keeping the LA to handle the current surge, even if it's not holding much charges.

This is both totally wrong and irrelevant for UPS batteries.

The topic concerned UPS, NOT EVs.

This is an unmoderated group. so Ed Lee can post what he likes. So can you, and you contribute even less than he does. Don't waste our telling telling us about what you think he ought to have posted. We've already been exposed to quite enough of your foolish opinions. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

Well, then fuck you, too, Bozo, because you seem to think otherwise, fucktard. And don't complain because this is unmoderated, fool.

I'm not complaining. I'm merely making an observation. You are the target of quite a few unflattering observations from people whose opinions I value more highly than yours, which is pretty much everybody. If you get your kicks out of being jeered at a clown, I can see how you might persist. You probably ought not to. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

Hey Bozo, the "unflattering" comments, which I regard as a badge of honor, are all coming from YOU!

Who cares how you regard them. Your enthusiasm for "understanding" other people's opinions in a way that suits you is pretty comical, and might be part of your clown persona, if you had a enough sense to be able to create one. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

There are other form of comedy, beside clowning. Ironic observation is one of them. Don't bother looking it up - you wouldn't understand it. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney
