Speaking of batteries, funny thing happened today. First off, working at the middle school I have been needing to talk to the bus guy and see what the school buses do for batteries since they could potentially have batteries I could use in my conversion. Anyway, coming back from the bowling alley, the bus driver says "uh oh!". I jokingly say "What, did you leave the lights on?". She said "yeah, I did! Oops!". So we had to wait for them to send another bus. Gave me a chance to finally talk to the bus guy. As it turns out, they only have one battery, one big, monster honkin' battery per bus! Not Geo Metro material anyway. Looks like one of the 8 I got yesterday is totally dead; one other one is still in limbo; but, it does look like I have my 6 useable ones for my pack! I am one happy dude right now.
