  1. I got the same batteries, same cold weather voltage. To be fair, you only get that high voltage at startup, it doesn't stay like that all day.

    Here is what Northstar says in the user manual about this:

    Thermal Compensation

    The optimum level for float charging the NSB
    automotive and marine batteries is 2.27 volts/cell
    at +25°C (+77°F) (which is 13.62 v). If the battery temperature
    increases above this level, a thermal
    compensation of -4 mV/cell/°C is recommended.
    Conversely, if the temperature decreases below
    25°C, the voltage should be increased by 4
    mV/cell/°C.
    -> So at minus 30 degrees C you should give it an extra 220 mV per cell, which is 2.49 V per cell, which is 14.94 V total. And that's Float charging which is the voltage at which a battery is maintained after being fully charged, to maintain that capacity by compensating for self-discharge.
     
    I think 15.2 V for a short period in the cold weather is fine, but let's see what others say.
     
  2. Now with our music we have to watch out for who's around where you are and who might it offend.

    That's because today's music is offensive. They didn't always use to sing about drugs, ho's, stuff like that... I wish I was alive back then.
    actually if you listen to it they did. Some of that shit is just as bad if not worse if you listen close enough LOL
    Hell yeah it is, they just didn't come right out and say it like nowadays but they most certainly sang about drug use and violence.

    and free love aka fucking everything in site without a care in the world.... just sayin'.

    Ok, I stand corrected.

    When I'm near that girl that I love best

    My heart beats so it scares me to death!

    Well she touched my hand what a chill I got

    Her lips are like a volcano when it's hot

    I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup

    I'm in love

    I'm all shook up

    Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay

    There's nothing offensive about that.

    Listen to Ying Yang Twins - Pull My Hair. Now that's offensive...

  4. Nice explanation for the different materials. Most guys think that just by sticking some cld to their doors they eliminate outside noise, which is not the case.

    Also for cld to work, you don't need full coverage, you need at least 30% coverage in the central parts of the panel to control resonance. However, for mlv to work, 100% coverage is needed and all the seams must be sealed with aluminum foil tape.
