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.
