My first instinct is that i would not of asked. Given his rather sh***y reply i'd also reckon i would of second guessed that coming and defininatley not asked. He's probably never been friendly or concerned or even passed the time of day i'll bet.

Oh, and i'd just carry on and do the job. I wouldn't lose (presumably) a good paying job because i forgot to take water with me on a hot day.

Normally women offer a drink on hot days but men tend to be less thoughtful of dehydration on hot days.

Stinking rich people are very nice people, it's the ones who think they have money with flashy car and up to their eyeballs in debt who are full of themselves, disrespectful of others.

Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Running pump directly from van battery!!

Thanks Spruce, I’ll see about getting one you just posted . Most grateful for your help.

The initial thread back in 2007 was about using the van's battery as a power source to run our wfp pump.

Some window cleaners advise that they do this successfully. We haven't had the same experience. My son initially had a Peugeot Partner van and his van battery went flat in 4 days. Later, the starter battery was replaced with a new one, and we tried it again. After 4 days the new battery was flat. So for us, it didn't work as we just don't do enough mileage to recharge the battery. However, years back, another windie had the identical van in the south, and he used his starter battery without issue.

A few years later, my son-in-law joined us with a Ford Transit Connect T230. His daily commute was 16 miles either way, plus another 10 miles maximum to his cleaning area. His van battery also went flat after about 6 cleaning days, even though he was also using his van for private journeys. We fitted a Numax battery with a split charge relay, and he had to put a charger on that battery every week.

Without a shadow of doubt I would sack him,what really annoys me about people with money is that clearly think there better than us working people just because they have money,what I often find with wealthy people is that they are rude,ingnorant,and have no manners.
That type of person wants to own you and your family and call all the shots.

I would tell him to fxxk off and poke his job up his rude ignorant arsx

Just my opinion not saying I’m right

And on bonfire night put a banger in his letter box

Don’t forget your water bottle and don’t ask the miserable old fool for a drink again. If it’s a well paying job I’d keep it.

Will this be suitable to fit my van ?

No. It's the exact same split charge relay you posted a link to earlier, just a different supplier.

This is what you want. They also come in 24v, which isn't any good for you.

You also need 16mm red and black cable, cable lugs, fuses as well at a length of 1.0mm cable to run from your ignition switch or a terminal that is live when the ignition is on. People sometimes find the power source to the cigarette lighter easiest to plug into.

Battery to battery chargers are much more expensive than ordinary split charge relays. These split charge relays have also become cheaper as the demand for them falls away.

Renogy also make a b2b battery charger, but I have no experience with this brand.
