Well today I spoke to the folks at Christie Engineering who pointed out that although their beaut little 12V generator was the fastest thing around, it wouldn't charge a deep cycle battery very quickly because once the big lead plates in the battery built up a surface charge, they would not take much more charge quickly - and the charge rate would fall to a trickle. Better to use a cranking battery with lots of little plates, or a hybrid one that is the best (or maybe worst) of both worlds. So still thinking about what sort to get.
Meanwhile, we went to the Toyota Landcruiser Car Club - TLCC - for the first evening of their introduction to 4WDriving course. Instructors Simon and Bill did a good job of setting ut the basics of driving techniques, 4WD toys and most importantly safety aroud the two day practical course being held this weekend at one of their two properties near Tarago.
And oh so exciting, we pick up our chopped troopy from the boys at Trakka tomorrow, with its new hinged pop-up roof and bed-in-the-ceiling; a landcruiser with an upstairs.
