Hi Guys,

I'm coming in on this conversation as I have a problem.

I've just had a motor mover fitted which obviously runs off 12v, but this weekend I am gonig to a foresty commission site for the bank holiday with non electric, I will only be running the lights and water pump for the weekend, keeping them to a minimum, will be taking charged battery lamps too.  I'm just worried about the state of the battery when I get home to operate the motor mover as I'm only an hour from home so won't be charging much on the way home. I am not keen on taking batterys in and out for recharging, and I only have the one, do you think I will have enough power left for monday using the mover.  I did pick up a 5 in 1 power pack from towesure today with an inverter, will this be any good if I plug the mains lead into it, I was going ot save it for charging the laptop for kids to watch dvd.  Any other suggestions.

If you cant do someone a good turn,don`t do them a bad one,its nice to be nice you know,and little things mean much more later in life.

It all depends on the size of your battery, its condition, and how much you use it over the weekend.

If you have a tip-top 110Ah battery I would have thought that the hour's top-up would leave it well able to cope with the mover
