I've been comparing prices between the USA and Canada over the last week or so because I have often found it cheaper to buy in the USA. As I live close to the border, it's not a problem for me to slip over to N. Falls, NY and grab my shipment. However, I have noticed this is not usually the...

I tried to charge my Mega 1 the other day with my 12v 100AH battery and it wouldn't work. So, off to YouTube to find out what I was doing wrong. I didn't realize I needed to up the voltage. Reading the manual and realizing the minimum input voltage was 12 volts might have given me a clue. :)...

I just ordered this 12V 120AH battery from Ali Express for $89.00 CDN. Shipping was free. I'll check it when it arrives and if it's okay, I'll order some more.
