From: "Tim Gagnon" I placed an order for four of these units. One I am keeping and doing some test and the others will be made available on a first come first serve basis. A few have already expressed interest and they will get first shot at them. If you go to www.youtube.com and put VIO in the search function, you will see the picture quality of the camera.

You are right Tim. The prices are ore aggressive now. So what is your price? About $475.

I was going to ask less but if you are getting $600.00, then I maybe I will too. Nope..still will be asking less...much less.

To answer your question though.... If you are running two 12 volt batteries and one happens to somehow get discharged while the other one is not... Which represents an imbalance as you stated in your previous message.... Then the charging system would tend to OVER charge the already charged battery, causing it to more than likely vent gas and definitely decrease it's overall life time. In a case like that, a battery equalizer (also as you pointed out) will fix that problem by making sure both batteries charge evenly. The issue though is how the two 12 volt batteries got out of whack enough for that to happen to begin with. There are two ways: 1. Someone hooks a wire up and draws 12 volts from just ONE of the two batteries and uses that to power some 12 volt device. This will cause the exact situation you mentioned and if you do something like that, you will need a battery equalizer. However, the solution here is to simply NOT DO THAT. If you need 12 volts for something, instead use a 24 to 12 volt converter, which in most cases is just a step down regulator. Lots of folks make them. In any case, now you get 12 volts by drawing from the main 24 volt bus and thus you no longer discharge the batteries in an unequal fashion. 2. You have some cells go bad in one battery and not the other. In this case, again you will have an imbalance, but here the clear and obvious solution is to replace the bad battery. Understood on the "money is no object" statement... But even if it was not an object, there is a much wider selection of AGM and Gel Cell batteries at 12 volts than there is at 24, thus allowing you a much wider selection of total amp hour capabilities than there is with just 24 volt batteries. v/r, Mark Bitterlich -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Dale Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 12:39 AM Subject: Yak-List: Re: News from Russia I had a electrical engineer explain it to me, I use a 24V. Tell me this , when one battery gets charged up all the way and the other one is slow. Does one overcharge and the other one that is weak ever charge up? or do you keep overcharging the strong one until the weak finally get it up. Or just how do you keep both batteries in square with each other. Oh is it who cares because it is cheaper to replace the whatever batteries than a aircraft battery. I believe he ask the question of "money is no object" and being such why bother with two batteries if that was the case.

I have a few KA-39's (used) in stock, contact me off list if you are in need. Or you can normally find them on Ebay.
