http://www.trojanbattery.com/pdf/TRJN0111_ProdSpecGuide.pdf if you scroll down there's a lot of information regarding trojan AH battery spec So if we take the battery linked to in this post ,a 24TMX, it is being sold as a 105ah but if you look at the tech sheet it is only 85ah at 20hr rating. The 1...

Nope it depends on the standard rating that is used, 20 hour, 8 hour rate etc. A 100 ah battery rated at 8 hour has a larger capacity than a 100 ah battery rated at 20 hour. Problem is most makes of battery fail to tell what rating they have used. I can only find one brand which tells you which the...

20A MPPT controller is £8 or so - like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-10-15-20-30A-MPPT-Solar-Panel-Battery-Regulator-Charge-Controller-Auto-Switch-/290984828658?pt=UK_Gadgets&var=&hash=item43c00c1ef2 I'm pretty sure that is just a solar regulator not a MPPT controller despite what the ad...

Hmmm, missed the opportunity to talk to Ian Hulley about solar panels at Busfest... Has anyone got the LCD screen on their controller? Is it worth getting that option? Cheers, Ringo There one on my MPPT controller, worth it just to see how many (or few!) amps are actually going back into your batte...

Best hurry up with No5 mate.There's a chance I might be getting the thread lock out.:wink: Good idea. Some of the picture posts made by "established members" do nothing but bear out my Clique complaint. Troll spray etc etc. Next 8) There is a friend and foe option should you not wish to r...

May as well get a 100w as there the same physical size as a 80w panel. A 20amp controller will give you the option of fitting another 100w panel at a later date.

I 'think' the center bore is too small on T4 steels

Out of interest, anyone used vw heritage's bearings? http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_spares_Front-wheel-bearing-kit-T25-8-84-251498625AS_act_shop.product_pID_200272_lang_EN_country_GB.htm?crumbStartPage=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Any good? Or stick to brickwerks? Cheers...

That's similar to the one I have (Sevylor voyager) its ok for messing on rivers and lakes but the sea needs to be pretty calm to be able to use it.

Hopefully other council's will take note and follow suit.
