  1. As title looking for advice on using the above as a paint conditioner, as I am going to repaint my red panels with epifanes mo-urethane , on the tin it says add between 5-20% what has been your experience of using it thanks in advance

    Obviously the long length of cable adds resistance and decreases charging current but I wonder how hot 6mm cable gets when passing 100A or so. And is a great length of unfused cable connected to battery + acceptable to BSS? IMO it is relatively dangerous (as these things go) and so should fall outside the rules. I’m not sure it does though! Of course it would be possible to “do it properly” with fuses at both ends and ensuring the cable is located somewhere where hot insulation won’t be an issue, but that certainly wasn’t the case in her video. And in any case, resistance works both ways so when the Li is discharging into her inverter voltage is going to be dropped, cable is going to get hot etc. let’s hope she doesn’t put the electric kettle on, 200A through 6mm cable is definitely going to be interesting.

     

    Also it seems like she thinks that insulating something keeps it warm! Only applies to humans and other warm blooded animals!

     

    Overall, a really good video on how to do it badly and dangerously. But I’m sure, not untypical of what amateurs without much electrical knowledge or imagination are doing out there.

    Hi I'm interested to , how do you do it safely then ?

  3. Hi currently I am in Boston, I have 4 x 6 v Trojans that are at there end of life , I have a 200amp lithium & 2  x 12v 135 amp lead acid batteries , I need some one to fit them for me , been in touch with 2 marine electrical fitters one does not know enough about the hybrid set up the other one does tells me to ring him and don't get a answer getting a bit pixxed of now is there anyone on here who can set it all up for me obviously I will pay
