Really... just where the F is carbon coming from?  Its filled with KOH, the plates are Nickle and Iron, the only other thing involved in the battery is electrons.  Where the hell is the carbon coming from to "Build up on your exposed plates"

the answer is that really NOTHING is going to happen to your metals in your FeNi battery when the plates are exposed except for the reduction of performance because the active chemical area has gone down because the plates are not fully submerged in the electrolytes... and YES.  I own NiFe batteries.   Also, I know the company, I know the battery technology very well.  Using numbers I got from Iron Edison I calculated that you are going to have to spend 12% of your captured solar energy to run a distiller to make distilled water to replace the lost water in the NiFe batteries.  You just can't put any water into the batteries, it MUST be distilled batteries.

Paul told me to post this under meaningless Drivel.... so here it is.   Take the photo and spread it on other forums and Face Book please.  Took me a lot of work to come up with all 24 quotes.

Super Pee and Superman are both Men... if it was a woman, and you were man, you'd know it right away. "Wowsa....Hey baby" would be the male neanderthal reaction. This completely ignores and insults the great women (like Cedar from Oregon) who are a big part of this permacultre movement and intellectual property. Michael Obama and Hillery Clinton would be offended and seek the Justice League on you for this male dominated icon from you. Seems like the glass ceiling is well and intact in the permaculture field. Farmer Brown obviously has Mrs Brown slaving away in the Kitchen and taking care of the children while Farmer Brown is out in the fields all day.

honestly. I think its korney,it makes the excellence you do into a joke. You are far better than this super Pee logo.

David Seelman NO BATTERIES IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT EVER !!! Get those batteries 'behind your seat' and get them OUT OF THERE NOW. WHEN you DO get into an accident those batteries are going to fly right through the seat, right through you and out the front window, if they don't move up and take your head clean off. The common person has NO IDEA of Crash Dynamics and the forces involved. At 50G's of force in a crash your 50 pound battery becomes a 2500 pound missile, and not much is going to stop it. I have clearly, clearly published and said NEVER put batteries in the passenger compartment EVER. I don't care if you think you've tied them down to the frame. Don't do it.
Death awaits you.
