    PV and Battery storage system quote - experts views on the quality of equipment quoted greatly appreciated

    I have been playing with battery's and solar for years now. My trouble has been that technology has advanced and I cannot keep up with it financially and for me making sure that it's cost effective and that it pays back the initial investment that it's taken to try and win. Well I have not won...

    The ev chargers can be set by you to give what you desire but the cables are pre set and they use resistors fitted within the plugs. I did have a used 16 amp cable and I checked it it had same cable as a 32 amp ,the only difference was the resistor values. I changed my resistors in this lead so...

    Can a tethered type 1 charging lead have it's plug removed and a type 2 fitted?

    You will need to check if it's a rated 16amp or 32amp cable ,check the cable cross area. Also depending on which it is you may need to change the resister in the actual plug depending if it was 16amp.

    AMD 2 - time to flex your credit cards?
