Battery management sustems ?

If, like me. you value convenience, install a plug-in arrangement like
this:

Yes indeed. May as well do it right. Thanks George.

C-Tek. We have one on our MX-5 that has a high drain alarm and doesn't
get driven all the time.

Found link for my other unit

http://www.batterydoctor.com.au/store/view_product.php?product=MB-3604

Does car batteries (3.8 amp) as well as bike mode (0.8amp).

Kit includes permanent installed leads as well as alligator clip
extension.

I think most chargers come pre-supplied with such leads.

Also added a power socket on the bike (phone/GPS charger) so switch
over the plug when the battery charger is not plugged in.

At this rate Gerry won't make any decision

 

oops..Jaycar cheaper. English (not even tortured variety) at bottom

http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=MB3604&CATID=18&form=CAT&SUBCATID=295

Someone PLEASE make my mind up for me. I'm an old man. My brain's
out to lunch. I need help.

Anyone?

On many campertrailer forums, Ctek seem to have lots of problems in recent
times. Not sure if they are made elsewhere or what.


I had a Projecta AC250b http://www.projecta.com.au/catalogue/cid/3/asset_id/15
on the campertrailer which ran a 80ah battery. it was ok for that.

Now the trailer runs a 120ah Full river I had to buy a larger charger...
I got this one, http://www.projecta.com.au/catalogue/cid/4/asset_id/174/
and in middle of permanently mounting it on the trailer. Just working out
where to put the plug for solar panels.

 

The JayCar one pretty good to me. Put some of what you save toward a
Powerlet plug-in system, and you will be away.
Rocket science it is not. Charge controlled to battery tolerance? (it
is). Pulse charge for sulphation? (yes). Float charge for extended
periods?(yes). Charge modes to suit battery type? Yes.
etc
Best of luck. cya Friday.

 

I guess you're right. It's SO hard trying to find The Absolute
Truth... ;-)

I may be well pissed by the time you find me. Look for me along the
kick-rail at the base of the bar. I'll be the guy looking up at you
saying "Sheesh, both of you are so tall, George..." ;-)

Read any Diderot lately

Ah, the Face on the Barroom Floor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Face_on_the_Barroom_Floor_(poem)

I will keep my gaze suitably averted.

 

You can go too high-tech.

What? Is this the Queensland Liberal Party Forum?

Are they really planning to have a non-elected Parliamentary Party Room
leader? Joh would be proud.

Theo

 

That's what I'm thinking, thanks to GWD.

And when we've had our fill of the Liberal party swill, we'll once
again force down another bitter pill.

The two party pretend system sucks.

Nah... Foucault.

Why write a short poem when a long one will do, eh...

I would.

Simple fact it's done
Cando will probably route labour out on it's corrupt ear and from the
amount of lies and rhetoric labour is soiling it's pants and having
little tanties over the unusual but legal plotting against them
Polls show a huge swing against the grinning biatch and her monkey clan
Assuming of course he takes Ashgrove which currently is not writ in stone

 

I concur. We should go to proportional voting.

Theo

 

x eleventy.

 

oh my.. I've read about such "exclusive" clubs before. Usually
involving ALP NSW ministers on late night research missions.

Shouldn't there be a hole in the wall or something too?

You have a sick mind.

Interesting - ideas rooted in Kant, a real piss ant

Yes, it do go on a bit but I've always liked it.

Just to be sure, I would tug my forelock if I had one.
