A quick rummage about on tinterweb tells me that the Kellogg's tiger made his debut in 1952 and Exxon's Esso put a tiger in your tank tiger came out in 1959. ? Always wondered how you actually got the tiger in your tank but then I'm not very worldly wise.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now just sittin here with the Lithiums 90% full (on a charge cycle to get them up to near 100% to test the voltage termination relay) and they are sucking all the amps they can get out of the solar panels. FLA's would be throttling the current back to low levels by now. What a waste of power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
