Electrical goodies


The battery monitor registers temp overun.
It works in conjunction with the battery charger, and controls runaway. The SAR v3 on the left controls the field voltage in the alternator, small changes in this can optimise the charging process of the engine both in terms of speed, current and voltage.



Sitting at the back is a LINK 20 which is used to let you know what is happening with the batteries. The really good guys don't need these tools but if you are like me any assitance is a good idea. They have a good reputation.
Alongside are the bilge pumps and the battery switches and solenoids. These solenoids allow the engine battery to get it fair share of the charge without the danger of discharge when the charging process stops. Whats is so good about these is that they don't take a lot of power to do it. there is a lot of stuff goin on with the electrics, the plan is to set it up well from the start. That means optimising the charging process and then setting up good devices that will register battery state. This is easy on the batteries and should preserve them cuz they just hate steep deep discharges so likely when one has no idea what's happening.
