Hi guys {and girls} I just want to share my experience with one of Gary's projects. I purchased one of his low battery cut off boards with components. Initially I had some problems with this and it was all of my own making. With Gary's endless help and advise it was soon sorted out and corrected. I use this on a hill top which involves a VHF repeater system along with a cellular router network using an Ericson WS35. My deep cycle batteries were all but made useless due to a fault in the solar charge system bringing the voltage below 5 volts, so after paying for more expensive batteries I realized I required some form of protection to avoid this happening again. This circuit Gary has designed works extremely well and I advise all of you reading this to at least have a look at it. I added to this a remote RF switch so on rainy days I can remotely turn the whole system off and on again as needed through his own on board switches via relays. Gary is considering closing this website so I urge everyone to get a little active and also just consider what we all have to lose. His knowledge,experience and help is available to us all and would be a very sad day to see it close.
