Title: Battery power
Post by: preston powerblast on December 04, 2005, 11:58:32 am

Just a bit of advice needed.
Next week I am going to set up a wfp system which will all be run from my van.
What sort of battery will suffice to run the pump and how can I charge it from my vans alternator?

i use a leisure battery from the camping shop (towsures)  and charge it up every other day

Re charging, you just need a split relay unit, I think about £20 or so. you can get these from most caravan and camping shops, I thing even Halfords sell them, either fit yourself or get it installed at home by someone like a towing bracket fitter (yellow pages).

Leisure battery is better then car battery - go for 85 amp hour
