Hank the Tanks Dodgy battery and solar system

[gasgas]

I went in my camper today, and I checked the batteries. Yes, they were still there.

Looked alright in the video but like most things that cost next to nothing. Probably crap. Having said that I tried Temu for the first time recently and bought various items and they have all been pretty good.

The one I got is very good, picture quality is good, it can take snapshots and videos to your photo app on your device and has a selection of attachments to fit on the end of the camera.

Anyone else missing this thread?

Six days to go until a month off grid on the Isle of Arran. Putting it all to the test.

I keep looking out the upstairs window longingly at the Craig "David" Solar panel. (funny man that Merl).

I bet Merl is missing me.

That panel looks proper Bo our kid.
Sorry Baz but I forgot to remove "DAVID" before I fitted the panel. You realise you're going to have a Craig David Solar panel up there forever now

Thats ok Merl. It will always remind me of our time together and will serve also as a reminder not to binge rocket fuel cider when your in the middle of a complex job.

Dear Barry
Help! my 25a Amperor battery charger in the van has packed in this week. It's only lasted 9 years has anyone any thoughts on what to replace it with that doesn't cost too much or involve having to start the new hobby of voltage watching.

Oh yeah, I'm just the same Rob, raring to go, just very well damped.

 

[barryd]

We should organise a Merl reunion party. Me, Kev, Rob and Merl and some cider.

Yep. I have just taken delivery of some of these. The latest in Lip4suction technology. Forget all that Frogstar Draft shite. These are what you need. £99.99 each (you will need half a dozen). 100% drop in as well. No fancy chargers or B2B bollox required.

Ah I see. You need one of these then. Ignore the Halfords brand name. Its a genuine Vic&Bob charger. You can always tell as they are the blue ones. They match those batteries I posted earlier so I would get both if I were you. That gauge is spot on as well. No more faffing with stupid Bluepuff apps.

£299 each them. Be quick or Merl will ave em and stick em on Ebay.
