Subject:Battery Demand calculator -- posted for comment [NVC]

Hey guys who are smart about lead-acid batteries, inverters, and mobile
electrical stuff:

I've posted a web page designed to calculate battery demand, using a
script provided by Lucas Thompson. The page is posted for comment only
-- call it "alpha testing."

Its intended usage is to answer those questions from folks who wonder
how much current their inverter will pull from their battery when they
operate an electric toaster from it; and how many amp-hours will be used
when they run their Dometic refrigerator on 12V for one day.

I'd like to pump up the "notes" section, so I invite suggestions from
those who are 12V electrically-savvy.
