Of course the vehicle       needs to be parked outside but just lay the panel on the roof of the       vehicle and hook it up.       A panel that size for charging a 12 volt battery does not need a charge       controller either.       ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ Typo Tom strikes agaoin        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 And Still Here.
