"battery man....!

Hi Steve, mentioning "batteries" around me is like waffling mature cheese odours in front of mice: but you're lucky, I'm just about to shut down on my way to the city.....

I'm going to be fortunate re your question, my pier, possibly to be commissioned this weekend, has the draw-wire sticking out near the pier head with its other end dangling under the deck: being such an untidy yob the other half of my split personality is the compulsive-obsessive "neat-freak."

So, possibly tomorrow sometime (maybe not with all this annoyingly wellcome rain we're having) I'm going to secure my multi cored cable to the bottom end of my draw-wire and haul it up through the hollow centre of the pier and "presto" - wires to spare and an epitome of neatness!

The battery unit will be way offside out of the way (so I use heavy cables to not drop voltage) and it'll be very low trickled charged via a small solar panel.....

Cheers, Darryl.
