    I'm certainly happy with these numbers.

      "Out of sight out of mind" is how I would respond to the notions of "good enough". If you really have 0.5v drop and it could easily be in the positive side of the battery you are looking at at least a 5 watt heater some where in the wiring. These types of things are known to melt fuseboxes.

      if the voltage drop is split then your are still dropping 5watts but it distributed better. Don't expect it to get better depending on the humidity in your area it will get progressively worse .

        Please pardon my ignorance, but what's a "red lily"?
        If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

            Oh, I agree! I'm happy with the trend but far from done. The more understanding I get the deeper I want to dig. I've been searching the site (which I've found is creativity in the keywords) and have discovered much.
            I thank you guys for caring about us (me the electrically challenged) enough to put in the effort.
