    Charge battery via fusebox with solar charger

    Good moaning all, I want to install a solar charger because my MK1 1997 Clio 1.8 RSi seemingly has a parasitic draw and counteracting it is probably better than trying to find and fix it given the car's age. If anyone wants to buy it in September let me know! The problem is that the cigarette...

    How do I charge AGM batteries?

    Hey! I have a problem, my AGM battery is discharged to 0, I never thought about how to charge it, I have a regular battery charger, but as I read in this post, it doesn't suit me, really they can only charge 75-100% of the battery? What should I do? Need a new device?

    Using lamp posts to charge EV’s

    How does variable electricity tariff work

    This might sound like a stupid question but if someone was on a variable electricity tariff and they didn't have a smart meter, and let's say the electricity was cheaper at night between 6pm to 11pm. How would the electricity provider know how much electricity you used at night so they could...
