If you try to charge an SLA at 17volts you will quickly knacker it. The
charger needs to be regulated to 2.25v per cell for continuous charging, or
about 13.5v. You only need 17 volts it you have volts of BC station at the
antenna. Scott should really use an 807 !!

Hi Scott, LFers,

That's good news about the mini-whip power.  I intend to put mine
out in the back field, well clear of everything, and to power it from
a sealed battery pack with a small solar panel to keep it charged.
Since most panels put out around 17-18 volts if not regulated, it
would seem that I've hit upon a lucky break for once!
