    12V battery drained in 48 hours whilst locked

    To load test a lead acid storage battery, divide the capacity by 20 (capacity is rated at C20, the load constant for 20 hrs) and find a load that equals that number of amps (a light bulb, watts divided by volts, in this case 12v, will give you the amps it will draw as a load) While the load is...

    A well known line "I have no idea how I found time for work, I've been flat out 24/7 since I retired" I'm a bit the same, but I don't generally sleep flat on my back, it causes serious rib pain on the side the wife sleeps and the threat "I'll put a pillow over your head if you don't roll over...

    Is range anxiety finally defeated in England?

    :ROFLMAO: That's actually the name of quite a well known and up market restaurant over here ..... Also, just about every city in Australia has an eatery with the head egg and bacon flippers name preceding the "Greasy Spoon" as the title across the entry door .... T1 Terry

    Is my battery advice helping?

    I guess that is yet another reason Aust is known as the lucky country ..... we just have to work out load and distance ..... and we have plenty of copper, zero vegetation and yellow slug lines up the walls of river gorges in Tassie ..... and for a long while, Wollongong had the tallest chimney...

    Being a Gastro Pub, the prices for food were as you would expect, A gastro labelled food establishment over here, is similar to the "Chew and Spew" label and "Diarrhoea Diner" as labelled by the truckers after someone gets a bad reaction to a meal, if it gets another call from another trucker...

    Is my battery advice helping?

    If the fuse is 32 amps, what size conductor is the cable in the wall? If multiple 15 amp outlets are on the one circuit, 6mm sq conductor cable is used and rated for 32 to 40 amps, depending on length to the furthest outlet ..... but that is mainly restricted to commercial builds, usually a...

    Charging Port Refused to release the charging cable again - is this a fault?

    My MG4 pulls that stunt every so often and I have to use the release cable, but a good spray with WD40 dry silicon fixed that and the charger door refusing to open ..... although, I pried the plastic lid off the first time the door wouldn't open and exposed the star shaped plastic fastener, a...

    Is my battery advice helping?

    I've watched a few of the GB tradie You Tube videos where they have been called in to sort electrical issues where the owner has wired up stuff themselves ..... definitely a case of "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing" Even making up extension cords in Aust is supposed to be a licenced...

    Keyfob problem, locked out - fob inside

    Well, turns out, the MG set up isn't fool proof, and I was just the fool to prove it. When I managed to lock myself out of the MG4 by locking the car from the drivers side inside switch, then putting the window up, with the fob still inside :mad: the wife eventually returned home and went and...

    Does anyone know the peak charging current of the 12V battery?

    I thought the same, get them balanced to start with and a passive balancer would keep them that way ..... By passive, you are of course referring turning a resistor into a heat across that cell if it goes above a nominated voltage, most are set at 3.8v and off at 3.45v. Even with them mounted...

    There is no DC to DC plugs available for the CCS2 system as far as I know, all the V2L plugs I've seen are the top AC section. If you find or know of a CCS2 plug with the DC section as well, please let us know on this forum and preferably in this thread ..... T1 Terry
