Is charging a 12v battery pack this way ok?

We Answered:

Do not need so much complex circuit to do charging. It only need one 250 ohms potential meter rates at 10 watts to adjust (limit) the charging current. Put one 500 mA current meter inseries to monitor the current goes through the battery being charged. To fully charge it,set it to 130mA by adjust the resistance and charge the cell 14 hours.

Am I crazy...or is this reasonable?

What is important is to find peace with God before you die, whenever that is, so you can go to heaven after you die. This is very important. Know that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen." I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God's will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.

What will make a Major reduction in my heating costs this winter?

We Answered:

You have a real good start here. If your attic insulation is not up to R50 yet do that first.

The quartz infrared heaters are all hype. They are mostly electrical resistance heaters with a new name so they sound eco friendly.

On the fireplace... an insert is a good idea if you have a steady supply of fuel for it (wood, corn, pellets, etc). However most of the good quality insert manufacturers are already running 4-5 months behind on filling their orders, so you may want to just get a chimney balloon and plug the flue air tight for this winter. Don't just count on your metal damper to keep out the cold. They are usually all warped, sooty and ineffective. get that flue sealed up tight. But, DO NOT use the fireplace! What you have read about fireplaces using more heat than they generate is absolutely true. They are wood toilets! If you start using your fireplace your heating bill will go up without a doubt.

If your basement is not finished yet you can get some aluminum tape and tape the vent seams, you will be surprised what a difference this step makes. Often rooms that are hard to heat become warmer when you do this.
