I could\u00a0equally have entitled this post ‘I see the light’. After the regular weekly shop (an expensive one this week stocking up on food and drink for tomorrows BBQ and Brighton Kite Festval), I made a run to Amber Leisure<\/a>\u00a0over in Hitchin to pick up a couple of 85Ah batteries. They were very busy this morning with what looked like three caravans and a motorhome being picked up, and all those picking up there new purchases appeared to be in their late 50’s early 60’s which is probably about right given the price of the items they has purchased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The afternoon was spent levelling off the floor of the empty half of the passenger seat box and installing the batteries. Having checked that my CBE system powered up on the leisure batteries,\u00a0I hooked\u00a0the system up to the\u00a0van battery and the ignition switched feed and checked again. The system appears to be fully operational and I get an LED indicating that the leisure battery is charging from the van alternator when the ignition is on. I just now need an EHU cable\u00a0and I can then test the \u00a0240v AC side of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last job of the day was to install a light in the living area. I picked up the light whilst I was at Amber Leisure, I was marked down to \u00a39 from \u00a318 as it had lost it packaging<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
