voltage limit has been busted, but no first hand experience myself. If you do a web search on "lithium ion damage over discharge" you'll see plenty of discussion. I tried to find specs on the iCel system but didn't find anything useful. be careful, Tom -- Tom Ruscitti Senior Engine

irradiance meter wireless connection. When we tested a used PV150 kit last year I couldn't get more than about 30ft line of site with fresh batteries. I understand the connectivity has been improved in this generation but does anyone have any better range to report? Thanks, - Tom -- Tom Ruscitti
