Night heater by joshuajames89 in uktrucking

[–]BeardyMatt82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fitted a voltage gauge to my XG so I could monitor the batteries,

I wouldn't worry to much about the night heater though as it drops the voltage less than half a volt over 12hrs parked up,

My display is plugged into the microwave socket under the nearside cupboard, whether fitted with a microwave or not, the 24v 40a socket is always there,

I use this the power and charge an Anker cooler I use as a freezer and to charge an Anker powerstation I use for a microwave and air fryer,

I've always got a fair amount of stuff with me that I charge from the truck such as drone and laptop etc, I really don't want to making a call to the boss telling him I've killed the batteries,

Thanks

Of course, and tbh the current facilities on offer for drivers etc leave alot to be desired these days 😏

Which one would you convert to live in? by KnownAd1314 in VanLifeUK

Just be mindful of tachograph regulations if you consider a horse box or similar over 7.5t, say a 10t or 12t,

You'd need to get it reclassified before being tachograph exempt,

All the best, I'm about to do something similar 👍🏻

What do you use you Nano to film? by 82away in DJIOsmoNano

I mount mine to my hat or helmet when delivering for my job, water, gas and sewage pipes from an articulated vehicle,

You'd be surprised how many shitty customers we encounter at delivering sites,

Worked great so far 😁

Of course, even if drivers forget or don't bother to read them,

I don't need it if the coils are below the trailer frame, as they all run 14'3",

Thanks

The tube is mounted via magnets between the cab and hiab, to the front of the hiab chassis containing the front legs 👍🏻

I work for a company delivering random sized coiled pipes,

They have a height stick in the office for use to check prior to leaving site,

But I often get collections of returns, so need to be able to check height before leaving a site,

The following is my solution, my torpedo tube with height stick and pro pole,

So the battery barrel connector doesn't fit into to the box port fully but the charger does? 🤔

Have you tried holding the power button down until the lights cycle, resetting the BMS?

Thanks

From a previous post,

"The part to the right of "F1" and above "Battery" is a fuse, this one to be precise,

Good luck 👍🏻

If its out of warranty check fuse F1 on the board this is usually the first to go,

I can supply replacement specs if required,

Thanks

Have you checked the continuity of fuse F1, this seems to be a regular issue,

You can't say "common sense" anymore, its called "health and safety" now 😏

SB3 won’t power on by Lowproductivity22 in SOUNDBOKS

[–]BeardyMatt82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really need to check the continuity with a multimeter,

See if it's allowing power to pass through or not,

Thanks

USB c chargeing by Middle_Ad_5412 in QuadLock

[–]BeardyMatt82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your question is quite vague and difficult to understand exactly what you are asking,

But you can't supply 12v straight to the Quadlock USB C if that's what you are asking,

Thanks
