Battery Vehicle Society

So, Highend arrived with new battery. All back in place in reverse order. Auxiliary battery in. Fuses replaced, no voltage at controller.....

What have I done wrong....?

That's a relief to know that it was just bad luck and not abuse, thank you, and the cracks and hole in the case, where top joins side, part of same problem I guess.
What should I expect to pay for a reasonable part used battery?

So, how many spare D batteries have you saved from the broken vans, highend?
Got any spare;-)?

I'm wondering now if it lost some coolant, took the watering, lost sime more, then melted....that would explain sequence of events..

Technical Manual attached. Maybe useful for reference

as used in the beautiful Berlingo range. As per previous posts, I am very keen to get back on the road somehow. Can't tolerate the sniggering petrol heads for much longer ;-) I need a type D at least to replace the melted one possiblely more depending on load test results Thanks in advance for your ...

That's interesting. When I bought the blingo last june, part of the calculation was the not very well thought out plan of using its traction batteries as solar energy storage when they ultimately gave up. I wasn't expecting it to be so soon :-( We have a ground mounted grid tied system which produce...

I'm up for at least 2 Gs. One is cracked at top and has lost half it's coolant. Melted at bottom and stuck to it's neighbour.
