I like the way it worked, so I installed it on top after buying a second one. That worked so slick I got two more G .... now I'm thinking of adding another couple !! ( limit of my controller is 7 ) I waited until they were on sale .... $75/ each if I remember right |

They have frequent sales, coupons, etc. and while I'd not use any of their stuff for "mission critical" purposes, for the casual user, a lot of their stuff is fair-to-middlin', price considered. And much of it is from the same Chinese factories as Northern Tool. And Northern Tool is owned/managed by a dip**** and his smarmy idiot brother, so I'm not inclined to give them a dime of my money - YMMV. TC, R |

The battery held all summer without having to charge it on a battery charger and gets a fair amount of use. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=41144 JT |

I checked out the Northern Freifgt site. The 45 watt package looks like it might do the trick. Dave |
