| If you're going to use a solar charger, do NOT use a truck battery.
| Instead, wire four or five 12V7AH gel cells in parallel and charge
| those from the solar unit.  As mentioned earlier, truck batteries emit
| hydrogen gas -- not a good thing inside an enclosed room.  Also, after
| the truck battery becomes fully discharged (during a long, overcast
| period, for example), the solar unit will need to be pretty powerful to
| restore it.  A lesser charging unit may fail or pop a fuse.  Five gel
| cells together won't draw as much juice while charging as will one
| 100AH truck battery.
