What have done towards your prep?

[Pete Grey]

Have fitted a 1/2 ply board on garage wall ready to mount charge controller, fuses and battery selector switch, good/safe battery connections are essential, not just because of the fire risk from a short.

Many years ago I did the silly trick of disconnecting a battery charger without switching it off at the mains, it exploded blowing half of one side of the case off.

Thankfully my glasses protected my eyes, I ran from the garage straight to the shower, after that we’ve kept a container of water in the garage.

I’ve always respected batteries ever since.
