After the last post I have been gathering my thoughts about what I have to do to finally switch from lead acid batteries to my new, shiny, lithiums. What seemed as an easy job turned into more than a week of hunting down shops that have what I […]

There has been some long weeks in Sweden, even if I spent time meeting friends most of the time has been waiting for the bank and their papers to arrive. Since I haven’t been able to know when they would arrive and make sure that they were returned […]
