Canal boat

[Nemesis]

Red diesel is legal on canal boats and it is what I use to power my engine, which in turn powers my battery bank x1 as well as the starter battery.

I am also using solar and find it best to run two separate banks.

Bank one, 110ah, 75ah, 75ah total 260ah connected to the engine, this bank is recharged by a 80Watt solar panel. (this bank also has the started battery which is wired so as to not power any thing, its role is simple to start the engine).

Bank two, 75ah and 40Watt solar panel.

I use bank one, for lights and to recharge my mp3 player and rechargeable lights also I recharge a speaker and a mobile power station, and now due to my son giving me a android mobile I now charge that as well.

I use Bank two, for my TV and nothing else its simple setup but works quite well, and again note the rule of "3" two times solar battery banks and a mobile power station.

I might do a few photos another time to better explain this.
