Hi Sam,APPARENTLY if some followers of a YT channels donate say ie£5 to a channel like yourself; YT would take just over half the money & the channel like yourself only get around £2.20 of the £5. Is this correct?😳
Now you have been using Fogstar battery for a while + your trip to Europe. Do you recommend this battery? How much did you pay for the 608Ah Fogstar battery please (I think I saw it was just below £1k price around Nov timeframe - but I am not 100% sure the same spec)?
Very clever bloke. Attention to detail is brilliant. well done.
Glad you liked it

So glad they have been of help 👍😎
Well done mate all the best for 2025
