I have a 2005 Swift Kontiki 610 Low Profile and just been doing my usual pre winter check. I should say at the outset we are still amateurs re van electrics despite having driven around Europe and the Middle East over the past decade or so. Anyway ,to my surprise, the leisure battery reading was...

I am confused about battery testers for house hold batteries, AA, AAA, 9V, etc.
Recently my smoke alarms started chirping so I changed the 9V batteries and no chirping.
However, the replaced batteries tested good using GBT-500a battery tester.
I was told that batteries need to be tested under...
Hi folks.
I'm having a PV system installed with a 5KW Amasstore GTX5000 Battery.
This comes with a critical load output.
I have the spec sheet but its not clear if this output is active all the time or only engaged when the grid power goes down. I'm assuming its live all the time (unless the...
I am thinking of having a solar system installed, but am very much a novice, I know that I want solar panels with a battery.
So I am looking for recommendations of companies in the Kent area. Please only reply if you have had a system installed by the company in question.

I have a 11kw Air source heat pump heating our UFH. We're looking to fit a Tesla Pwerwall battery and have been advised that we should install a sort starter to avoid spikes when the ASHP starts up which could cause the battery to shut down.
Does anyone have experience with such a situation...

Some background: I have a 92 landcruiser troopy (75 series) with 100watt solar panel on the roof + dual battery redarc setup, I have an old style 45L engel fridge connected to the auxillary and a...
So I got my battery meter for my golf cart through Amazon today. I see two flat tabs where I think will need to connect directly to the battery. My question is, is there a purpose for the two round nuts above them? It looks like they would serve a purpose but not sure what to make if it. TIA
Where os the battery backup for the siren?
I have ordered a Yale wireless system to replace the current old and faulty Accenta G3. I know that the G3 system has a feature whereby if the power is cut the siren goes off.. When I install the Yale system I want to disconnect the mains power...
Now I haven't charged a car battery since my teen days but it seems our two year old car like many now are dependant on a good charge for all the functions to operate, the stop/start rarely works and the dealer who we know told me what I already knew it does not go far enough each day. They have...

i have 4 x 1.2 kw systems and i want something like powerwall or powervault to use excess energy during day toi charge batteries which will automaticall feed loads when pv stops
Hi everyone,
I have a quick question if I may? I'm thinking of adding a second PV system to my existing rooftop PV & battery setup.
As the parts will be second hand due to lack of FITS & poor export prices, I'd like to install as much as I can myself to save money (I've already bought the...
2017 Isuzu Dmax with a smart alternator. Shunt on the negative terminal of the start battery. The picture attached shows how the Negative from the dc/dc charger was connected, prior to the shunt. I feel that I should move it to after the shunt to allow the smart alternator to work properly. Is...
I have two batteries in a series. The balancer has a black, white, and red cable. I understand where the black and red go, but don't understand where the white "pole" goes. It is only a single cable. Do I need to attach a splitter to it, or do I just attach it to one of the terminals in the...
I've seen similar questions but not one that specifically answers my question.
I have a Moixa battery system in my house that uses a clamp sensor on the live feed to use excess solar power to charge batteries, that's all fine of course.
Problem is, and you may guess this, when I fit the...
I'm considering buying a home battery storage solution and read that with 3kWh feed you can only charge 12kW during the 4 hour Octopus Go off-peak window, which makes sense.
Is it the mains supply, battery or inverter that bottlenecks this 3kWh? I've read some batteries (or was it inverters?!)...
Hi,
I sometimes wish to use my mobile router off battery.

Hi there
I can't wrap my head around a problem I have when trying to connect my dual 12v battery system in a camper. When I plugged in my VSR ( Orion from the brand Victron) i measured the + input was 3 volts although engine running (and app saying 14v input...). I thought the wire were too...
I have an 8kw solar array and I'm interested in a battery. They all seem mega expensive and can't justify the return I would get. I wondered if anyone had built there own battery rack and whether it worked out much cheaper.
