The car uses a 6V battery, so I bought a separate LIFEPO4 100AH, 12V battery to run these items.
The stereo amp needs 15A, and the airhorns are also 15A. The stereo unit, not sure yet (trying to find...
Hi,
It's got to a point that our poor car just isn't cutting the mustard anymore. It was never designed to be used as an electricians car. Up to now I've managed, but I've got much bigger jobs coming up needing to work at height, transporting conduit and so on, so it has to go.
With family...

The problem is with the 2 speed switch. It is...

In just a domestic sense what extra training and research do I now need to do if I wanted to start installing these?
Hi all, I'm a trainee and just have a question.
If the earthing for the Car charging is changed to TT and there is a light fitting close on PME, can you get a shock from two different earth potentials (light fitting and car)? Or does there need to be a fault?
And does that mean you can get a...
