Hi Tony, Ooops, well I said at the time that it *was* a late evening / early morning post, so it very well might well be rubbish info .. LOL!
I'll pop along to your website again (if I can find the link again as I am also part way into upgrading my OS to W7) and I'll work through as you have suggested - but it will possibly be a while before I actually get back to you as the Mobile Internet connection (with '3 Mobile', at least) on most of the K&A appears to be rubbish as well. Cheers for the comments though - especially those figures concerning your own 60 watt panel; it is exactly *that* sort of data which is going to be so very useful when decision time comes along, although I have to admit that I'd certainly not anticipated such a significant loss of charge (90+%?) capacity as you have experienced :( Winter 'wind power' is something else which I have been considering; unfortunately, it seems that there is a problem when using many of these devices on a nb, i.e. when the winds pick up and power has to be dumped rather than usefully employed - right at the time when it could be most useful. I gather that there can also be considerable vibration transmitted to the hull under some circumstances. Just recently I've actually started building a home made wind generator, from a basic design I'd seen on an American website during the summer, but it is still a long way away from being put 'on-line' for mechanical testing, let alone discovering whether it is capable of actually producing usable electrical power.... but even so it should stop me getting too bored of a long winter's evening <grin>!
