[Amps] Hercules II power supply

[Harold Mandel]

Vic,

Is your power plant an RS70 BB?

This is the kind that can float a battery charge and 
not end up with a thermal runaway.

Well, from my point of view the only good battery is one that's 
outdoors!  Actually, it wouldn't be *too* hard to drill a hole in the 
shack wall and make a little shelter outside, but I'd like to avoid this 
  if possible.  I could of course get another RS-70, but as a typical 
ham, I'm looking for the cheapest solution.
