Thanks very much for every one’s thoughts! Joerg Esorn

Thanks again, Scott, for all your thoughts and help on this topic. I wanted to share with the group a quite technical article I downloaded quite some time ago based upon advice from the Delos guys. Th

Sorry, Ofer. It appears I didn’t post the pics. Here they are. Sorry for the delay.

Another try to attach the pictures.

Thanks very much, Scott. Excellent write-up. I have a few questions and comments. 1. The A55 comes with a switch that in the "on" position, turns on the generator automatically if the SOC goes below 6
