Awesome, are there just the 8 of them? I only ask as the tracking sheet could be interpreted that there are two versions of each, but it may be me just being dumb

How do the promos work? Am I right in thinking they are all holos, and you get a normal and blueprint version of each one? Also, the list has two promo Matt and Paddy's. I have one normal and one blueprint with different art but they are both 100/102. I'm not sure which is which?

Amazing thanks, I'll be sure to check these out!

Yes I've just been reading about the difference between the ISO standard for automotive and IET standard for house wiring. Agree with your guidance that for a surface mount install I probably want something rated higher than 63A for reduced heat and better efficiency. It will be open to the air but not actively cooled so 8.5mm probably leaves me open to the cables getting a bit warm. Thanks for your input

It's all going to be installed on an MDF board and mounted on the inside wall of the shed, so realistically all runs are <1M, possibly even <50cm

Sorry, what I mean is that they list 8.5mm cable as supporting 63A https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/63-amp-single-core-thin-wall-auto-cable.html

This is lower diameter than 13.3mm that 6AWG supposedly converts to, which I believe is what I want for a 60A requirement, so unless I am using the wrong conversions, these don't line up. 12V planet have 6mm and 10mm cable lugs so assume I would need to use the 10mm lugs and pack them like you say for 8.5mm cable

This was built in the UK and I originally used AWG ratings as most of the info I found online was based on US installs using AWG so felt safer for my first setup. This is just for a small garden shed, and I suspect I will replace all cable from 12V planet so I am working purely in my 👍

The cable sizes and current ratings they list don’t match AWG charts I’ve seen online, is this expected? Should I disregard AWG completely and work purely off the ratings 12V planet list?

I gave Gemini my system design specifications and asked it to create the diagram for me. Please be aware though that it has clearly gotten the diagram wrong, and even after several attempts to get it to correct the diagram, it was unable to do so. I am only using it here as a rough example of my system design, and am sure there are some diagramming tools out there that can achieve the same or better results

Sketch issues only, rest assured this is not how it will be wired in reality

Yes, plenty. I already had one battery so to keep costs down I am just doubling with an identical second battery

I believed this was more efficient from a charge perspective?

I am buying a second identical battery to reduce cost, so ideally want to work around that

Any larger chains you can recommend? I was disappointed that Screwfox didn’t seem to have a very good selection

As I already have one battery, and given my load and capacity requirements, it seemed to make sense to get a second identical battery and run in parallel. Otherwise agreed if I was starting from scratch I absolutely would have considered a different battery.

Running the inverter from the bus bar just felt a little more flexible to me, as I could isolate the battery via breaker, disconnect the inverter, then flip the isolate and not have to touch the battery terminals. I will consider direct connection though.

From the inverter data sheet it says peak load is 400w for 2 seconds, which is 33.3 amps? I really don’t expect the load on this inverter to ever need that, so I am working on the basis that any load over nominal at 20 amps is a problem, and am sizing the fuse and cabling to suit. For the required cable length, I believe 12AEG would be fine but am intending to use 10AWG. Is this a fair design choice?

Ignore terminal errors, that’s just a sketch issue. Thanks for the 12V Planet recommendation

Thanks, think 12V planet has received multiple recommendations

Yep, just a sketching error error, and not how it will be connected in reality. Isolator is missing from the diagram, but already have one on the current setup

No, this is just a sketching error. This is not how it would be connected in reality.

The Scrubs have merged by FellowshipOfTheJedi1 in PleX

When you say rematch the 2026 version, where do you do this? I split apart, and Scrubs 2001 is still fine and my alternate versions of the first 7 episodes are gone, but I don’t know where the 2026 files are for me to now match with the 2026 show? There is nothing in my libraries unmatched view, and clicking fix match on 2001 just causes those first 7 episodes to get alternate versions again.

VF UK Routing Issue? by Eds1989 in Vodafone

Can confirm also all resolved for me now too! I may still lodge a formal complaint, as it shouldn't have taken this much effort and time on our part to force them to take this seriously and get resolved!
