Before I went down the victron resistive shunt method of coulomb counting I purchased a couple of inductive counters and if they would have worked they would have been good. One thing was the inaccuracy of the voltage displayed, but then if you think of it as a number that equals the actual...

Yes these were from Basen, it is always a problem when purchasing knowing what will happen with your order. There are too many what I call "bedroom businesses" They take your money and hold no stock. We don't take deposits for parts that are yet to be made. If they don't want the part when...

They are here! Just typical, so much customer work on and so far behind with it means little time to play. Tracking their progress was rubbish, as they were supposed to be still on the boat yesterday. Next job I guess is to buy some crimps and a big crimping tool for them. Heat pads are...

Mine are just a couple of years old I think. The cut off for production was week 24 2021 I think.

It seems the smart blue chargers have to be rev.2 to be updated to smart networking. :(

If you watch some of the motorhome crash tests, the doors fold in without that bracing in place. I suspect the side impact protection would be compromised too. That said I'm sure you are not planning on crashing?

Posh people with new kit ;) My victron chargers don't have the option.

The original controller I had in Murky had a separate temperature controller, but it was close to a window and I had better results with the heaters built in sensor. This new controller that only works with the latest canbus heaters needs an extra sensor. In hindsight, I would have put the...

This is what I'm using. https://www.melloronline.co.uk/Heater_Controllers/11978/Eberspacher_EasyStart_PRO_for_Airtronic_S2_M2_&_Hydronic_S3_12v_24v_Heaters_%7C_221000352200.html This should be the fix...

Working inside Betty this weekend brought it home that I have a problem with the heating. No it’s not what you would expect. It’s getting to hot! Because the heater is in the step it draws to much cold air from outside. I’m using the heater’s internal temperature sensor to regulate it, so it is...

Not really, other than they consider them to be thermally stable. Then I won't be shoving in huge numbers of amps, or dragging them out again. Now when I buy my DAF euro 7 hybrid 7.5 tonnes chassis Cab, I might be using the habitation to aid propulsion ;)

Wow that was hard to stay awake.

I asked a couple of days ago about the cells voyage to England. It seems they are still at sea, but should soon be hiding in a container in a UK port.

The temperature sensor is an option on the smart shunt as far as I know, but I'm sure our friendly expert David will be along shortly to correct me ;)

No I didn't David and made an assumption. They do look like they tick all the boxes, even though they are a little pricey. As for the structure of the internal connections I don't know. Maybe our glorious leader Phil would like to put a hacksaw to one of his?

This was my first thought David, but you need a larger hump than that to relieve the stress on the connector. I was also thinking about high density foam between them too.

As with many cheap Chinese things you don't know what your getting until it turns up.

It's unlikely to be a pure sine wave, it'll be a digital copy. Don't think this is a bad thing. It'd still play with it on domestic mains.

Ok, bullet bitten. 120 watts of heat pads ordered.

Low and behold the Multiplus made enough mains voltage to turn an electric drill this morning. I guess last night it didn't want to play.
