I am considering building a few 12 AA cell stacks of NiMH batteries to simulate using solar panels to lessen alternator load.
It will take a few stacks since I think each run of NiMH cells only puts out about 2 or 3 amps (if I remember correctly). Then it takes 2 amps just to hold the two massive batteries at 14.5 volts.
