  1. Grand old log 5knota all the usual trimmings, oozes past adventure and old world charm, and with new fangled colour cordinated isolating switches! Um, do they make em half red and half black for the ultimate single throw DP? Guaranteed to solve your loops.
  2. Are we talking about fuses or isolation switches?
  3. Double pole single throw, switch that functions as name implies. After toing and froing I decided three +ve switches on the three batteries in two banks, and two -ve automatic voltage/current/temperature sensitive switches on the LiFePO4 right next to the -ve post courtesy of bms’s was enough isolation for me and I considered it done. The start battery -ve post could do with one to be consistent but seeing as cars are permanently wired to starter motor without any isolation switch and have multiple earth paths I don’t think I can be bothered. Lithium is another level or two of paranoia t
  4. But then shutting the motor off gives us a rush of feel goods. Just how do you put a dollar value on that? Motoring is like the dentist, or a prostate check; one of those unpleasant necessities. If you want to reach certain point in a certain time, you need to tolerate using your motor. Very occasionally I love my motor and am thankful for its unceasing reliability but mostly I’d prefer it to be barely seen and definitely not heard. Charging my batteries has nothing to do with the smelly, noisy motor, it’s the alternator. Quiet, powerful, and very humble. You didn’t know that? Conversely
  5. Changed my galv bolts out for 2205 ss in 2010. A couple of the galv were wasted.
  6. Second that. Required grid survey, but no gas cert , only a sniffer which I already had. Never got around to the gas solenoidinstall. Guess it somewhat universal, the differing standards that are applied. Just as long as the survey is what you've got and the Insurance co accepts it you have got to be covered.
  7. Exactly what is the wording on Aus/Nz std? Meaning HV/LW audible warning at a cellular level Or// at a battery level? Not so subtle electrical diff. Obviously cellular is better imo. Pretty easy to add a BMV712 and get an audible warning. Also utilise mid point take off. And if you dont like the 712 volume (low) use the relay with a louder one. Or, the offender at a cellar level is easily identified & monitored with a voltage sensitive configurable relay to a piezo. $20. Same cell wins the race in both batteries every time, not by much. But its really consistent thanks to Mr Ohm
  8. Sorry all gone. Six went in matter of hours

  10. The DC-DC (30A?) is from FLA start battery to LiFePo4 right? What controls that kicking in? I have a victron DC-DC to do opposite as Li is charged from alternator at this stage and also have used it as I charge my Li at 14.2V via Argofet, which seems to keep the start battery up. Nice little induction hob!
  11. With induction cook top I guess you could run the motor when in use to alleviate loss to battery. Still need 75m^2 to inverter tho. 2Kw for 15min is 40ish Ah, correct? Not allowing for invertor losses, and @12.8V When is the target extinction date for LPG?
