    November 2016, Newsletter Top Tip of The Month

    Solar set-ups

    If you are using a solar set-up then as our UK day-lengths get shorter (usually Nov to march) you'll need to recharge your 12v batteries using a mains charger since the sun alone won't be enough to keep the battery topped up. (If you don't recharge the battery regularly over the winter you will damage the battery ..and have to buy a new one..so beware!).

     

    if you are on the market for a new battery then please click here to see all our batteries
