Volts amps watts all stay constant it's just what's used that's added to power draw so you can use normal conversion and add a few amps on for inverter
-
Roughly 1amp at 12v for every 10w at 240 so 24amp, it's just a case of how efficient your inverter is IE how much it looses in heat and conversion
-
Volts x amps or divide as your going the other way etc, 240w is bout 20amp at 12v
-
Should be in the specs, just Google unit If your exceeding that then it's a no. If that's the case a battery shunt and monitor will do the same but at much higher rates, they not that expensive.
-
Usually have a load circuit, can't see very clear from the pic, the idea is the disconnecting the load to save battery getting so low it can't charge it back up.
-
The 2 connections on the right of the solar control is the load circuit, if you run from that it will automatically cut supply off at pre set to stop battery from discharging too much
-
Prob best to charge it it at home while your on Agm leisure cycle life is usually based on max dod of 50%, you can take them lower but it will shorten it's life slightly, if it's just the odd occasion it's probably irrelevant. Lithium is better for wider discharge rate but more expensive with an increased risk in Voltage will give you an idea of where it's at.

What battery lead, agm, lithium, some solar chargers can't start charging if it goes below a certain point but I wouldn't be worried about going below 50%, depending on what the battery is. Discharging old style batteries beyond 50% is frowned upon We used to run our old leisure battery till the pump stopped working or the TV went off, or always charged backup, no idea how much life was taken off with doing that, I was a kid and it wasn't my dept. What voltage is it sitting at at 50%

No, now your being

Had me at oil, any kind.

heathens surrounded by them The abbreviation "Xmas" comes from the Greek letter chi (Χ), the first letter of the Greek word Christós (Χριστός), which means "anointed, covered in oil"

Welcome along -
Looks guilty as feck to me

Looks like it's the wife then.

Definitely on our list, almost made it but COVID fecked that up, I want to go in winter, the wife wants to go in summer There are a few apps that tell you what's on offer in bars and restaurants barhopp is or was one there are others and do use them, they can save you a small fortune. The prices don't really put us off, it's expensive and you know that before you go.
-
Well we are at what is supposed to be windiest part of the day and it's blustery, had I not looked at the end of the world weather forecast I wouldn't be sat here....... Hope rest of you get off lightly
-
So far the storm here is a non starter, if I've got to work Sunday for no reason I'm going to be mighty pissed off......
-
Weather is forecast crap tmrw so no work yeay, except I have to go on Sunday instead
-
I grew up with labour induced power cuts, we've always had a generator for backup, back then it was my dad's and it was on a trailer and big enough to power half the street, enjoy the smugness

There is a reason people say a lot of bad things, there is a 24 reg on eBay with 400miles on the clock for 2k, if you can live with the depreciation. No idea on the longevity of the bike but I would make sure you look after it IE clean and maintain it to within an inch of its life, stick religiously to what ever the service schedule is or there is a good chance they will use it as an excuse to get out of warranty. Good luck with picking gear and getting out on the road
-
Which 125 did you go for..... Plenty of bright dry days, avoid bad weather till you have a bit of time on the bike and be aware you will be the weak link not the bike Clean it well and look after it, nothing wrong with riding in winter.

Glad your all ok which is main thing
