2 AA's should do it! lol

i got a 110ah battery that was fitted in my van feb last year, with split charger and solar panel fitted, its never been out of the van or hooked upto a mains charger.

Best ask me missus as think she uses someone called Ever Ready. To be honest I think he is a bit of a ginger ****. :Image13:

Sweet, problem is its going in the car and needs to be removal for buggies and what not lol

So can use a split relay /emoticons/sad.png

P.s I may be looking to go for your wireless controller soon /emoticons/smile.png

you still can use a split charger, just add a inline switch to it and then you can take it out with no problem!

ok let me know when and i'll sort you out

i got a 44ah battery, had it over 2 years, lately its been playing up, have it on a split relay, but a lot of my probs is i dont travel enough, like tomorrow i will do 11 miles all day

but i changed my brush and since then its uses more power as have to run controller more, took controller out today going back to full power and pencils

Cheers guys.

RC - what a great idea!! Need to be a big ol switch no?

 

[rcproperty]

the split charges i use and would reccommend for the use that you have in mind it would only need to be a 20-30amp switch, as the split charger is fused with a 20 amp fuse.

If I wanted to add an inverter to run my Hoover... Would we need bigger cables?

 

[rcproperty]

yer would do, you would need some big batteries too, the hoover can draw a lot of power, maybe better to use a small generator to power one of them.

something like this maybe? http://www.bridgetools.co.uk/portable-petrol-generator-850w.ir?cName=power-air-tools-power-batteries&src=froogle

 

[CNS-southwest]

Ahhh that's pretty cool. Only the Hoover is 1300w lol

 

[rcproperty]

OK, might need a bigger one than that one then lol

 

[CNS-southwest]

Lol would it just cut out if I used a 1,300w hover on that ?

 

[rcproperty]

Cut out, or might not even work.

 

[CNS-southwest]

Ahh ok, thought it might just be on reduced power lol

 

[Smurf]

Wonder how long the battery would last?

 

[CNS-southwest]

Have no sound on but get the jist of it. I Spose if you used say a Diesel engines battery, then it probably would last long enough to do clean a car. But you would need to put a bigger alternator on I think

Found out when my missue car got broken into that windscreen repair vans have inverters fiited to power a henry hover to suck out broken glass from inside cars.

I have no idea what size batteries they use or how is it setup to be able to last. Therefore might be worth going on a car valet forum to see what others use. :Image9:

They all use gennies, but to be honest those forums have loads of memebers but never anyone around.

They always having problems with there generators though.
