So constructive criticism: You have 2 busbars, all leads from them to battery terminals should be the same length, it looks like they might be. A tape measure is your friend! Then you need a box or sheet of ply or whatever to cover the tops of your batteries so nowt can fall onto the terminals. Some sort of cover on the +ve busbar would be a good thing. I suspect if others posted pics of their setup we could all find some fault or other, apart from telly matches, but he doesn't count cos he has a butler to do Everything. It is a lot tidier than mine and yes I do have BS certificates.

So give him a list with remedies. We're are in the "practical advice and guidance" section. No bickering or finger pointing allowed. Ner Ner ne Ner Ner! πππππ

Yes. The whole βbattery leads must be the same lengthβ thing is mostly bullshit unless the leads are very thin. Which they arenβt.

agree .... it's often chanted like a mantra but in practical terms unless the differences are very large there is no problem .... You get bigger volt drops across dodgy connections

I've lost count of the number of times my well-tightened battery terminals have been found to be loose...... there's a gremlin in the works somewhere. ..... probably a fuxxy wuxxy.

I only looked at this thread because Badger was the last one to comment, and he often has interesting curmudgeonly things to say.

No... I've had a couple of whiskies this evening, and sauna and food and am feeling rather benevolent. Although Pirkko brought up the Finland's President and I had a few choice words to say about that thieving, lying scumbag, and, Finns being subservient to the last, she is giving me the evil eye.

Don't you feel at risk? Getting into arguments when you are naked.
