[AT] Solar battery charger setup

[David Bruce]

I beginning to look for a replacement for my 2001 Malibu. Might be a 
couple years away (hopefully) and will probably be a used vehicle. The 
tech has change massively - good or bad.
Actually I have been looking at a hybrid - if the price is right makes 
sense for me but my trusted mechanic is not equipped to deal with a 
hybrid car. That does make a difference to me. I trust his work ...
