The subject of auxiliary batteries is a perennial favorite here on the
list. I figured I'd start a page on the wiki so folk could add to it. I've
created a section on the page addressing how to determine the stage of
charge of your basic lead acid battery.

Anyone who wants to contribute to the aux battery page ("how I mounted my
Optima," or "Battery separators," or "will a Sears starter battery work as
well as a marine deep cycle battery," or any of the common questions) is
encouraged to add to the page.

Me, I'm still waiting for Mark Drillock to finish up his massive bank of
teenie weenie little batteries all hooked up in parallel (or,
"MBOTWLBAHUP") project and tell us how it went.
