Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Perfect primary power source for small subs

["F. Marc de Piolenc" <piolenc@archivale.com>]

One of the key factors in shortening the life of lead-acid batteries in 
particular is being kept on a low state of charge or made to wait 
between discharge and recharge. With a BV or RTG there's continuous 
charging taking place, at a rate admittedly much lower than peak load - 
the perfect "keep-alive" system.
