I would have thought all batteries had an optimum charge discharge temperature range.

Mother wouldn't let me have one in the shed as she thought it would kill me.

I don't know your boiler and some things have improved over the years, but no harm in asking. Better than reading about the death of you and your family.

I think you have a serious problem if it got that hot.

Reminds me I haven’t wired in the auto demist with my M12 eberspacher.

The point being, as there was not much current flowing to get out of Bulk for a few hours. The voltage was held at a high level for this time. Just wondering if this would be detrimental to the batteries. It would be nice if the MPPT was aware of the Battery charger.

I thought this evening to give Murky a treat and put the heating on for a couple of hours. Whilst fiddling with the victron app I noticed the solar had been changing each morning. It couldn’t have been putting much current in, as the sun doesn’t get around the house until the afternoon...

Enjoy your night away.

That's called the grey waste tank ;)

I wonder how fussy the eberspacher number are, as I intend to take them to the limit. The D4L will be mounted on the left and the exhaust needs to exit on the right.

I used to design and manufacture two stroke pipes, not the same animals

Silencers are a funny subject, especially for a constant noise. Trying to absorb annoying frequencies without reducing flow is not that easy. Even with perforated tube, hole size and spacing can make a big difference. I studied this for a while before deciding life is too short.

Lets hope you have found the answer. I'm running without a silencer on Betty at the moment and it does howl.

Your dilemma does make you wonder. I just thought about what if you have a mini artic? 8 tonne combined weight. Crew cab with a fifth wheel on it. Park your trailer up and then go shopping with the tractor unit. I have no idea what that would be classified as? Would the trailer need testing?

As Jeff mentioned this could easily proved by extending your exhaust temporarily away from the vehicle?

This is the point I'm trying to make, as much as your interpreting what is and is not ok. Some official could argue the opposite. Please don't think I'm trying to pick a fight and I'm in this muddle too. I'm just keeping my head down and if I find myself in court I'll create merry hell there!

The down side is even if the body type is accepted as motor-caravan, the taxation class is still hgv. My argument would be that a passenger vehicle can't be hgv. I think it's the same with busses and coaches. If not used for paying passengers, it must be hgv! It's just a mess. What is...

Good to get it under 7.5 tonne.

So potentially I have three dc unused supplies. What if I could current limit one of them to use as a starter battery hold up?

It does it all manually Phil, it's just nice to know how it works after looking at them for many months.
