    On-Line auto electrical info

    Hi folks, I have decided to put together an auto electrical info section, to be posted up on my website, and it will be a free download.


    The need for this type of info has come about because of the many times the same questions are asked about the same subjects, but in different threads, at different times.


    While I am quite happy to answer those questions if I have experience with, the problem is that I am now so busy I am finding it hard to reply to questions post here, and to the many e-mails I get.


    My intention is to compile an online book and as new subjects are added, you will be able to down load the latest version at your leisure.


    For now I am posing two questions here. The first is for subjects that people would like to know about.


    The second question is for suggestions for a name for this online book?

    PLEASE NOTE, the questions can be about me gear or just about general auto electrical info.

    I will be posting up info like the correct way to carry out a jump start, or how to wire batteries in parallel and series, and so on.

    If I use data from someone else, I will post up a credit for where the info came from.

    Please ask away!

    I think that is a great idea. I think definitely dual battery set ups and solar. Solar panel set ups always have me perplexed. Lol.

    Solar is a good startup subject to cover and while I will need to outsource the info on most areas, I do have many years of hands on experience of using small unregulated solar panels for charging and maintaining batteries and will post up the info I have.

    One area I think I will start with, is how to use a digital multi meter ( DMM ).


    I find many people would benefit greatly when fault finding, if they had and knew how to use a DMM.


    I am also considering making some basic videos, BUT, in this area, I will need the educating.

    Excellent idea Tim and I think teaching the great unwashed (me included) how to do basic fault finding and use some test gear can only be a good thing

    How about some information on basic fault finding (half split etc), common causes of circuit failures such as loss of earth & what to look for.
    Soldering basics is another one that I see common errors in too.
    Happy to contribute if you want.

    Hi mr_squiggle, ( and anybody else ) please feel free to contribute to this thread.


    I will have final say as to what goes in to me web page “book” but as I stated, I will be giving credit to who ever supplies info used in the "book".

    Probably worthy of a book in itself but what about when a DC/DC charger is appropriate, and when it is not.
