I use a small 12v 1.5w Solar Panel to charge my engine battery, quite often it's not powerful enough and the battery loses charge.
If I buy a bigger one say 30w, would that still trickle charge (albeit faster) it, or would it damage it?
TIA
Hi guys
Been having a lot of discussions about pricing jobs lately.
Was wondering what kind of prices per point are we all charging.
We are currently at £70 per point for sockets, switches and lighting.
It will be interesting to see the difference in pricing.
