Chris (a.k.a. "Sparks", the REME electrical engineer) was planning out the installation of the inverter today and decided that in addition to the high-output alternator we should also install a second battery. Now here's the amazing bit: my dad, on hearing this, promptly drives over to Halfords in Salisbury and catches the manager just before he's leaving. My dad explains the situation and, thanks to the manager's extreme generosity, walks away with a second £100 battery courtesy of the company! Halfords have been absolutely brilliant in backing us. We got the first battery from the Uxbridge branch, and now the Salisbury branch has donated the reserve battery. I'd been down a bit over the last few days due to a number of issues cropping up (like not being able to add Ajay to the insurance for the vehicle), but this has restored my faith that we'll pull this thing together no matter what. |
