Reply to comment by BringMeInfo in MTA cuts free Wi-Fi from NYC buses by flightwaves
That's funny. I was commuting from Long Island to NYC on LIRR back in the mid-90's or so. I remember the first guy yelling on a phone. "I'm on a train! I'm calling you from a train!". I really wanted a cell phone then but I couldn't afford it. But seeing that made me wonder how this whole cell-phone thing would play out. And it didn't look good. I've since moved to the forest and have no idea what it's like recently.

I use deep cycle marine 12 volt lead acid batteries. But I don't care about weight since I don't move them around. If I was camping I would probably want LiFePO or something lighter like that. You could literally hook the thing up and start making power 20 minutes out of the box. That's how I got into solar. Now I'm off grid and the whole house is solar.

I believe I have the same panels. Very easy way to get into solar, and they are tough. Sitting outside on a camper roof in upstate NY for 3 years now and still going. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079JVBVL3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
