Hi Thomas,what make of battery charging controller do you have? Also I have to get a new battery too, what type do you have?
SvaraRaderaI'm going to steal some of those idea's for "Sparrow"! :o))
SvaraRaderaHi David!
SvaraRaderaI bought solarpanel and charging controller from: http://teknikhamstern.se/index.php/solpaneler/stdsolpanel.html
Battery is a cheap standard battery bought from a low price store in Sweden 'Jula' which perhaps have stores in Finland too. I'm not out sailing so long so my battery has no problem to be charged between sailing times.

Hi Steve!
SvaraRaderaI am pleased that you are inspired by my pictures. I am myself very inspired by seeing how others have fixed their boats.
Good luck with your Sparrow
Regards Thomas S
Thanks Thomas. When I brought my Spectra 5W Solar Panel I contacted the makers and they advised me that I don't need a regulator because the trickle charge is so low. In fact the person I spoke to doubted it would properly charge the battery until he thought about the hours of sunlight we get in Finland. Now my old battery seems to hold the charge for so little time I would like to check I have been properly advised, in case I damage the replacement.
