Well the uncorrected max zs for a 3036 5 amp is 9.58 ohms and a b type mcb is 6 amp is 7.67 for 0.4 disconnection at normal working temp. 4 sec on other cpd's are higher. If you have a long cable run to the upstairs in say the most convenient long route it will substantially increase your...

I'll go with pjcomp, for a simple system , just to add that Aico claim a ten year life for their rechargeable range. Some good deals on ebay too on Aico; which in my opinion are top brand along with Kidde. Alarms in all rooms can be beneficial if you identify risks in those rooms. Look on...

A lot depends on the amp/hour rating of the battery and the current draw when the car is standing, and also how quickly the car starts from cold.A battery can slowly drop below the starting threshold over a period of time /demand that the alternator can not replenish in the time the engine is...

Just as an aside , when you do get the oil leak sorted,go to your local electrical wholesaler an buy a tin of electrical spray cleaner similar to the link. Use this on the inside exposed parts ,as it says on the tin ;will not leave residues...
