charging batteries on site

talk about the cart pulling the horse, jeeeeezzuus H priest, if you have a genny use a proper drill,

 

I bought a 1200W invertor to charge my tools from my van,
put it on a relay so it only runs when the vans on and you
don't need to worry about it again.

 

Inverters are the way to go.

I bought and fitted one of These for my Van.


It charges all my tools and even boils an 1800w Kettle for those essential brews!



This is a picky of it connected to the Makita charger.


Needed 50mm Tri-rated tails which you can see in the photo back to the battery though! :^O

 

Nope cause the Kettle needs a big supply


It was hard enough finding a Kettle with an 1800 watt element as it was, most are 2200-3000 watt!

 

us DI dont have time for a cuppa sine

 

Jeez Sine, couldn't you find anything bigger ;D

Mine won't boil a kettle but it keeps my batteries
nicely topped up.

Not a good thing to accidently leave on by the way, a
good reason to fit a relay in the Live feed to it !

 

It'll run most 230V power tools as well if required, however prolonged use would require a 'Deep discharge leisure' battery.


At the mo I'm getting away with the standard Van battery nicely!

 

wouldn't it be cheaper to buy more battiers

 

Not for me!


Anyway I like my Toys, it's what keeps me going!

 

does your wife like her toys too

 

Yes, her and her mate love Sat nights in with a couple of bottles of Rioja, a Chick Flick and then Roger the Rabbit.



When I get in at around 2 am their well warmed up for the final seeing to!

 

great film that roger rabbit,bob hoskins is one of my favorite actors

 

Flippin heck Sine........my brother said your van was rammed full to bursting point

My little Berlingo is now struggling under the ammount of kit loaded on it, but I also use an inverter to charge the drill & radio batts. No worries about draining the vehicle battery as I've fitted a battery guard.

Cheers for the job up Warrinton by the way, my brother was well chuffed to get it sorted so quick.
Sorry it had turned into more of a job than I had left it as.

 

Ah!


Another Toy to buy!


Cheers M107!

No probs matey, I always carry an array of 'emmergency get out' options for just such occasions.



Glad I had a Wylex 16A push in MCB on-board, can't have a SWA sub-main to a garage spurred off a 32 amper now can we!
