Heater

[Terry]

I bought these a couple of years back .

Have fitted 1 infront of the n/s rear wheelarch. (the other is on the yellow trailer), and charge it from these.


The BIG but is I rarely use the interior lights the battery is connected to.

Its 100 amp hour was fully charged when I installed it & I haven't touched it since.. an electrician friend said it will last for a hell of a long time just running an interior light off it.
Apparently it is one (of a large number) that banks use as emergency supplies and they have to change them every 2 years (insurance) even though they may NEVER have been used.

Thinking about a 2nd battery, and wiring in with a simple battery isolater switch. Then getting something like a 60w 1ft tube heater (240v), which should last the whole night on the 2nd batt.

You reckon a wee tube heater would be enough to keep the chill off the van overnight?

erm would you be in the van over night as if you not than i wont trust a heater in my van if i had one it will more than likely burn the van down noing my luck
