I had word that Santa's Chinese elfs are carpenting a fine small solar panel for the December festivities to aid my poor battery. If it makes December. We'll see.

And only now I see PaleMelanesians post, and see what I forgot to mention; I got LED license, dome, door entry, map, city & fog lights and HIDs for the low beams since January. The rears are LED as OEM. There's not that much load on my battery.

No trickle charge, but neither the CVT nor my commute allow for much EOC P&G, so I get less chances to drain the battery. Got about 50% engine load (says UG) on even the fairest of steady 50 mph highway (long) drafts.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
