Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi all
With the help of the forum I have managed to build myself a f&p wind generator
Now i have got it up on a test tower I was wondering about connection to the battery bank. (6 2v forklift batteries in series)

I need advice in terms of fuses, meters, shunt regulators, dump loads etc

do I go straight to the battery bank?

is their a suitable dump load I can use without rewiring or modifying?

What size amp meter would I need and where can I purchase one?

Any help would be appreciated

Pictures mitchie... pictures... please feed the wind nuts.

I can't help on the specifics as I don't have a F&P in service.I assume you mean 6 x 2v = 12v battery.

6 battery cells, 6 months later and no photos.

This is the button you use to upload a picture.

usually a .jpg and <500kB size.

Camera photos need to be usually made smaller.

Hope this helps speed the process.
