True, that. A recurring subject. A lot has been written about it. Anyone
willing to do a quick and dirty writeup of the matter for me to post on
the wiki?

I did cover the subject of battery capacity vs appliance loads on the
Solar Power page of the wiki, if anyone wants to see whether an Optima, or
other battery, is sufficiently capacious (that's a word, isn't it?) for
their microwave oven or blender.
