Sorry , but you had to find out at some point in time. If he is imaginary, how come so many of us remember him? Oh, and welcome back Mike ?

FLA's would be throttling the current back to low levels by now. What a waste of power. But!! with flas ya dont need to worry about having seventeen million safety gadgets built in to stop over charging, undercharging, high volts, low volts, dont have to wrap em up cos it might get cold and they die of pneumonia, dont need a bank loan or mortgage to buy some, dont have to sort some specialist kit, dont have to find somewhere that sells em cos flas are on the shelf everywhere, dont need a re wire etc etc etc etc etc apart from that lithiums are a great idea ?

FLAs are only any good if your idea of a large electrical load is one LED in amongst the candles. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain_S Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 A quick google reveals that we're both right. Regent did them first, and could also supply other fake damage stickers, and Esso released them for Goldfinger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I took mine off when I had boat painted summer before last and found I dont need em. I cruised nearly every day last summer for several months so had full batteries whenever I moored up. I am at present on mains hook up and we all know leccy is near as damn it free on one of those and no time limits. If I ever moor up again for any length of time without mains hook up I would stick some more solar on the roof but for ccing as in moving daily or being on hook up they are realy of little use.

Glad you are back you old fox ? Ok lemme get this straight.... You, as a boater who spends all his time either cruising every day or moored up on 240v hook-up, declare Lithium batteries pointless and a waste of time and effort. Yes? ?
