hi

kinda recently i stumbled onto a web site or article (ad) from someone
that was making a 12v regulator that took 12v from batteries to supply
your rig w/a more stable voltage

I lost that link and can't seem to find it or google it


anyone happen to have it??


thanks

thanks very much gerry these were in fact the 2 i saw and lost

I have a W4RRY battery booster and it works. It is useful to extract
the useful charge out of a lead-acid battery. I have an FT-857D, and
that gives up at about 11.5V... long before my marine battery is out of
useable charge. The battery booster fixes this... of course, if your
rig will run properly down to 10.5V, don't use it. It will probably
increase your battery drain.
