Oh -- thanks for not comparing what I am doing to truck diesels!!

Listers also splash oil out the exhaust port when running under loaded!!

Well -- actually -- they do that splashing effect when running light loaded
then taking on a load.

You know how long I warm up a Lister??

About as long as it takes top hang the crank up after starting the engine
-- then throwing the switch -- say one minute??

I do let it run for two minutes free wheeling before shutting down though.

What a Maximum Power Point Tracker is:

The Power point tracker is a high frequency DC to DC converter. They take
the DC input from the solar panels, change it to high frequency AC, and
convert it back down to a different DC voltage and current to exactly match
the panels to the batteries.
