Ben has spent the past 24 hours in a glorious spaghetti or wiring installing our latest fabulous upgrade - a high power - low loss X-split charger! This nifty device enables us to run not 1, but 2 batteries - facilitating us having one battery to power the essentials, such as starter motor and main headlights, and the other battery to operate as a special 'fun' battery, powering auxilary lights, stereo, DVD player, kettle and the like. The thinking behind this is that if we both crash out with the telly on - we'll at least be able to start the engine in the morning. Special thanks have to go out to John Lowe at Driftgate - who not only donated the unit to our cause, but has also been on hand to offer support and advice on the fitting of it. John is a rotarian, who has done fundraising for one of the charities earlier in the year, and so was only to willing to help.
