| We had a guy come and look at why the mains charger was not working properly and it is the ma x voltage circuit not operating as it just keeps charging up to 16.5v so far and does not swictch off. I do not know if this part can be rectified when home but at over €340 here for a new one i will just use the solar of which there is plenty.
While looking at the 1st problem we found the the water pump was leaking and that was where the water we found in the lockers was coming from, suspect frost damage before we set off. Its in the most inaccesabile place possible and I was glad he found it and could replace it with a new one @ a cost of €160 complete with labour so now that problem sorted and the mains chager can be sorted when we get home.
The weather again is really hot but the wind is still quite strong. | |

| No Ken it's for the upgraded model, thanks Andy for the links, far cheaper than here in Spain. We will manage easily with solar until we are home.
Just thankful the guy found the water leak as we could not see where it was coming from. | |

No sun in Lytham Bob, don't think that streetlamp you showed us in the pic will charge that much at night, 200w panel or not ! Allen | |

| Don't think I will need one Baza as I can recharge the batteries on ehu but have to keep an eye on volts input as it over charges if I do not, the highest it went was 16.7v and I was lucky I did not fry the batteries. | |
