Next message: Dave Benjamin: "RE: lv-ab: Battery Charging: How Charge Large House Bank?"
I will be exhibiting at the upcoming San Jose Plant and Engineering Expo
next month. I think Belzona might have had a booth there last year. I'll see
if they're around this year. If so I'll keep the list updated.
