This was the original OEM AC unit form 2006. It ran great, although I turned it off after a couple of hours on "maximum cool" with the temp dial turned to maximum cold. The batteries still had plenty gas left, although my maximum run time is probably only about 3.5 hours (leaving lots of battery power in reserve for "other things".

With these final upgrades done, the "ultimate 2619" will be pretty much finished. No Mo' Money!
