Battery power
« on: December 04, 2005, 11:58:32 am »
Just a bit of advice needed.
Next week I am going to set up a wfp system which will all be run from my van.
What sort of battery will suffice to run the pump and how can I charge it from my vans alternator?

Re charging, you just need a split relay unit, I think about £20 or so. you can get these from most caravan and camping shops, I thing even Halfords sell them, either fit yourself or get it installed at home by someone like a towing bracket fitter (yellow pages).
Everyone seems normal untill you get to know them!

Leisure battery is better then car battery - go for 85 amp hour
It's a game of three halves!
