Battery

[Belfastcleaning]

Need to get a battery.. I'm wanting to get a relay so I don't have to charge it. What amp would be sufficient?

i use a 42 amp car battery and never have a problem

I have an 84ah leisure battery. Leisure batteries meant to be better than a car bat, but u can use car bats.

The shop that I'm getting all the gear from has 85 amp and 20 amp, how lOng would I get out of a 20 amp ?

Depends on the draw of your pump...do you have a flow controller?

I think someone told me once that a 100psi pump will draw around 5amps from battery, so it'd only last 4hrs...but I think the draw is a less if using flow controller.

Don't quote me on that, but I'd defo go for the 85.

How much is it? I'll try put a link of the one i got from ebay, 85ah, £56.00 delivered.

I will be getting a 100psi pump and varistream..

I will find out tomorrow I have a mate works in a garage that sells them so will hopefully be cheaper than anywhere else.

it is a bit dark at the moment but i will look tomorrow if you want me to but i can tell you it is worth getting a split relay as well knowing you always have a full battery is great especially in the winter when it has to do the immersion heater as well

Yes pal I was intending on getting a relay thing too.. You could come and set it all up for me and make a video if you want?

Guy in shop says a 20amp will do me 2 tanks, 700lt??

it is a big boy /emoticons/biggrin.png.my mate works in a garage and got me it for £85.00 so not to bad . the way i think is a bit like when i fitted a rad in the bathroom go for a bigger btu radiator as you can, you can turn it down but if you get a smaller one and it is at it max you can turn it up if needed
