ASK THE EXPERTS

摘要

Solar charging is very good for batteries but, as I recently found, it can make fault finding more difficult because with faulty batteries you still find the solar voltage at the battery terminals, That led me to go chasing non-existent dirty terminals and negative faults, So when fault finding, turn off or disconnect the panels from the controller. Never disconnect the battery before ensuring the panels are not feeding the controller and reconnect the batteries before the panels, otherwise the controller may set itself to the wrong battery voltage. Q Last September five of us had a week's holiday on a narrowboat and travelled from Beeston to Llangollen and we all enjoyed it immensely. In fact, I am now having a 58ft boat built. The only problem was that the fumes from the exhaust bothered me, especially when I was in the lock. I wonder if there is a way of routing the exhaust away. If you can help me, I would be very grateful.
