Doubling the capacity

So it's been a pretty gloomy few weeks and we've not been getting much sun.

Because we generate our own power this causes us a bit of a problem. When it has been sunny we've filled our reserve batteries right up but when there has been no sun or wind we've been pretty close to using those reserves up. Typically we've got three days of power to play with before we are without power. Usually that's fine but we are using more now than we have previously, lots of things to charge and run.

So after another bleak week... we decided to double our capacity of batts. A few fuses and connections and everything is in place. We just need some sun now to charge it up..
