Re: What do you do to get out of the darkness ?

Any thoughts?

Reading specs would be needed but only for when you haven't got the lenses in.

Any battery charging experts about?

Is Go-slow still around?
I bought a 50amp charger with "battery repair technology" for my two 110ah leisure batteries (220ah total) because my solar panels struggle for a couple of months in winter.
