I'm listed as having '0' 'thank you's' I'm still not too sure how to find my way around these forums, but a very big thankyou to everyone that has given me advice!
I hope to be able to spend more time on the forum, as winter work becomes scarce for me. Thanks for tip on the PakTrakr meter. Do I need to buy the extra readers for the 8 batteries, the site info isn't too clear on whether the standalone unit is all I need to buy? (At present I'm running 4X12V just to get everything running - so far so good - )
I had the forklift truck brake man come and adjust my brakes...they were quite a bit out of adjustment and 2 cylinders have slight leaks and have to be repaired, which I should be able to tackle myself. My wheel cylinders are Bendix, but he couldn't find a listing for the kits. Any suggestions?
Thanks especially to you, Ryland, for all the information
There is a new controller installed, so I should get max. mileage from whatever battery range is possible from the batteries.
Mine also has two onboard chargers, but where I live, most of the homes are set way back off the road, but yes, people here are very friendly and would certainly charge my batteries if asked. Without an accurate meter, I have no idea how far from home or how close to a power source I might be if the batteries were to quit on the road. I live semi rurally, and there are some stretches of my route into town, where I could be two miles or more from the nearest plug-in, and that was the reason for my questions. Thanks again all of you, and I'll keep you posted.
Cheers,
Kingsley
