All batteries flat - I’m on my own

ah, no wonder i couldnt find it, lol.....cheers.

Doesn’t refer to you either Rich. He has a lot fewer numbers behind his handle.  Read a few other posts and you will sus who it is.

if you read my above post, it was obvious i was replying to Liam who accused me of a 'tirade' and a 'lecture', neither were true IMHO.

It was not obvious to me and I certainly did not make reference to anyone in particular!!
But if the Cap fits.......!

no, its a bit big actually, you can have it back now

Apologies for not posting here that the issue I raised proved to be Fuse 6 blown - 20 amps. Previously a fuse had blown as well.  Looks like it is related to tank heater as previous time fuse blew I was on hook-up, this time I wasn't.
I have just got access to a computer for a day or two.  I do not find it easy using my mobile to find the right thread.  I did not seem able to copy a post already made to pop that into the 2 other threads I posted in.  May just be operator error!!!  For info Librangoat is a woman - I am a practical capricorn with a Libran ascendant for those who are interested in astrolgology - otherwise, just read it as my handle! :-D

When on your phone you may find it easier to use 'classic version', I find it much easier to use than the mobile version. You can find the link to change at the bottom of the page.

Have you now charged up all your batteries?  that is V & L showing 12.7V or higher

That's good, leave the tank heaters alone until sorted though.

I saw that comment and thought at the time it was quite bad and inappropriate thing to be saying to someone in your situation.  Don't let it affect your experience of this forum as it is friendly in the vast majority of instances.

I was not going to bite with this comment but after this direct aim at me I either take one of the following two options
But firstly lets look at what I did say

Quote

[size=10][size=13]You may get a better response if you had started this as a new topic and not try to piggy back on another thread

UnQuote[/size][/size]

I then tried to help Carrie on how best to achieve this and gave her a way forward on how to introduce herself which she did

Secondly lets look on how the comment she put was worded

[size=13]I really appreciated being given the info by a poster that it was better to start a new thread rather than piggy-back on another thread. :)[/size]

[size=13]The ending of the sentence :) is interesting as in text speak
Quote[/size]

[size=12]It means drooling, like you really like something![/size]
[size=12]UnQuote[/size]

So being somewhat peeved off by the go at me I have two options

1. I wander off into the sunset sulking and will never bother with giving advise/suggestions again 
2. If people consider that I might add value to the site in future I will still try to offer any advise that I can constructively give

We've had similar minor disagreements here in the past where people have just never come back again (Whiskey is one example I can think of), which is always a shame.

IMO there's no need to take offence. The advice was sound - open to misinterpretation by someone new to the forum maybe, but it helps a newcomer to understand how each forum works. As you say, it seems like the OP took it in the way that you meant it anyway, so I don't see any reason for anyone to get upset about it...

Hi David

I agree entirely with Mojo's comments.

In fact if you hadn't advised the OP to start a new thread, I would have done so. It's just plain common sense, and sound advice to a newcomer.

I can't see anything in what you said that could give offence, so forget it and carry on as usual. 

I agree with the last two posts, so no need to go anywhere , just stay as a member David,

You only gave advice to help someone, which is what this forum is all about.

Best wishes,
Margaret

Don't worry about it Dave, I've been "blown out of the water" more than once over the years.
Don't get me wrong ,I dont mean to offend anyone, however some folk aren't on the same page as you.

Pleased to hear your batteries are now working ok.....
Also glad you found the fault, a blown fuse. May I ask how you found out it was a blown fuse?

Miss DaisyMay

Same as Miss Daisy May.What fuse and how did one fuse cause 3 batteries to go flat ?
Having followed this thread, with some difficulty, i would like to know the answer?
