Why is that relevant?

Sounds to me that they are admitting that the batteries they sell are not very good. Perhaps anybody reading this thread will learn that buying from Sterling is a bit of a lottery. Over the years that has been my own experience.

I have a CRE , having had a CRX previously. I think the CRP has a 1 5m flexible tube between fridge and compressor, so the compressor can be a bit remote

This ^^^^^^^^ I had to use trial and error to find out which way to turn the screw.

What did he do? Was it the alternator?

I have 2 x 295W panels, originally in series, but changed to parallel, partly because of the shading issue, and partly because the lower voltage meant that I could use a particular breaker/switch, which I think had a limit of 50V.

That's how i have connected my 4 x Lithium batteries

Agreed, but the principle seems to be that you "can" fit one yourself if you deem yourself competent. As an aside and, as Alan* suggests, if there is no accident, then you were actually competent. *de Enfield

I've got a 24" and would like bigger, but think 27" would be too big. If I thought a 42" OLED would look OK, I'd have one.

If they only "recommend" then, presumably, you could fit one yourself?

I use a USB to 12v cable to run my router. A Huawei. i previously connected it directly to the 12v supplyfor a year or so, without any of the problems suggest by Alan.

You seem to be saying that you pay the penalty if you are caught. I'd guess you don't "willingly" roll up at the police station if you have been speeding, but not caught. I.e. you are only bound by statute law if you are caught.

You must spend your time wondering why anybody ever bothered with the postcode system?

Google dont charge users for information, whether it be directions or anything else - because the users are the product that advertisers pay for - so there is no price to "put up too much" What about if W3W say "nope, it's 3 quid for all of the "what.three.words" that you can eat? How about if they charge £3 for the app like lots of apps do? A billion people downloading the app, produces £3 billion. In addition a billion users would generate some interest from advertisers, and they might even get bought out by one of the big boys for 10 billion quid or so.

You are aren't you? Of course they will have to charge some/all users if they are to remain in business and continue to help people..... that bit isn't rocket science. You seem to be of the school where there is such a thing as a free lunch?

Agreed and, as a diver, sailor, skiier, but not really a hiker, I am both familiar and comfortable with location beacons, and have carried one when diving and sailing. However, I don't carry one 24/7, whereas it is rare for me to be without my phone and my W3W app. In addition, most people won't be familiar with location beacons, and maynot even know what they are, never mind carrying one, whereas they will be familiar with apps, including map apps and GPS, and will more than likely have a phone with them. Notwithstanding all of that, along with the negativity of those like Alan* ( ), the reason I posted the video was because W3W is much more than an aid to rescuing the surfer with his phone. It gives a precise address to millions who do not have the luxuries that we have, and could definitely be lifesaving in many circumstances. * de Enfield I think the imperial unit was used for Alan's* benefit. He has made it clear that he would like to turn the clock back half a century more than once * de Enfield

Have you tried the W3W app? It has a map with squares, along with the words. I can click on a square in front of our house, and up pop the words.

You would think so: http://support.what3words.com/en/articles/3624885-how-many-languages-is-what3words-available-in

Arent you predictable W3W is available in 50 languages. I presume you can use English wherever you are in the world. Are you suggesting there would be no language type difficulties in giving the numerical GPS position over the phone, with all the different accents etc.? What about the difficulties many people would have in actually finding their Lat/Long. Agreed that it needs monetizing, just like the OS system and the GPS systems are.
