Mandrake,
your a paid up business member according to what I can read
" Business Member: Mandrake's Solar Power "

Other guys blatantly advertise here, so when someone asks for advise or a product where you can make a quid, I see no hassle in dropping the odd (direct) hint that will give them at least a starting place to get the advise or product they need.

IMO if you can't assist members in some way then I believe it's unfortunate you have to pay extra for no direct advantage to yourself :-(

(just my personal thoughts - not seeking to change regulations)

Steve,

I've been a business member for some time and sought clarity from David and Michelle about the do's and don'ts. As a BM you are entitled to answer posts about the type product you sell and that includes discussing your own product.

You are not permitted to start threads about your product. Neither are you permitted to make unrelated responses eg Someone puts up a thread suggesting they are looking to buy a Patrol and I jump in saying "What you need is a set of drawers for your Patrol".

If in doubt, shoot D or M an email for clarity.

Jim.

Jim,

It is a fine line and you walk it well.

In any case, I think that the recommendations of happy customers on the forum is far more powerful than any attempt at self promotion. Do the right thing by people in your business dealings, and the recommendations will follow.

Mainey, that I believe is the direct advantage of being an advertiser on this site. The ones who do the right thing don't have to point people at their products or services, others on the forum will do it for them. We see it often.

Cheers,

Matt.

I think they have gone up substantially. I believe a number of the well known stockists don't carry them any more because they have priced themselves out of the market. From the "Fridge & Solar" website :"Regarding the FULLRIVER AGM Batteries I was selling, their prices went up 25% ,
I feel they have out priced themselves at the moment,"

120ah full river agm batteries on ebay $335 pretty cheap i reckon.

You got me - I hadn't seen that one. Have been looking for one for myself and that is certainly cheaper by far than any where else I've seen. Postage is ok too.
The site on ebay wasnt coming up for me because he has no space between the Full & River.

The brand name is Fullriver [one word no spaces], reason for high price increase is the cost of lead increased by better than 30% over the last couple of years.

Has anyone looked here?

There are numerous Fullriver models available, but the two common ones are HGL (not HCL) and DC series. HGL is a standby battery which is OK for for light duty cylcic use only. For dedicated Deep-Cylcle use, use the "DC" series. None of them are "Hybrids" they are all Absorbed Glass Matt (AGM).

It is also worth noting that the DC100-12 has been phased out and replaced with the new DC105-12 and the The DC115-12B (note the "B" suffix as there is an "A" version which has different dimensions) has been phased out and is now replaced with the new DC120-12B. Both are the same price as the old models.

This is not an advertisment, just a public sharing of information.
