Talking of wiring... Does anyone know of any good online tutorials (or books) for learning about electricity/electronics? I have almost exactly zero knowledge so could do with something that starts with the real basics. I'm aiming to do the wiring on a narrowboat (so 240v circuit for sockets, 48v lights if possible, 12v sockets).
I'm thinking it makes sense to have 48v lighting as the batteries provide power at 48v to the motor and lights are going to be the thing we use the most so it seems pointless wasting energy in dropping the voltage. But it does mean having more complex wiring. Is this a bad idea?
