What the hell it that? Get away from that you don’t know what the hell that is

Maybe some RAID would be useful?

I think this gives a bit better notion of the scale and construction of the Messaih Mobile.

Heck it'll take *only* 6-8 hours to recharge from a 110 volt outlet. (Never mind that most outlets now put out 120 volts, my UPS says it's plugged into a 120.1 volt outlet, but that varies from 119.9 to 120.1 pretty much randomly).

Minor techie note... nominal house line voltage is 117VAC. Depending on where you live, anything between about 112 and 122 is considered "within normal range", and people say "110", "115", or "120" interchangeably.

Below 110VAC some appliances start getting unhappy, especially single-phase motors. Above 125VAC things like incandescent light bulbs shorten lifetime like crazy.

Out here in the boonies of upstate NY, we see anything from 105VAC to 130VAC at times.

Not me personally, mind you -- I'm on a sun-powered (photovoltaic) system, off-grid (way up on a hill), and my 24VDC-input inverter puts out 117VAC right on the nose, all day and night. NYSEG can KMA.
