HI guys,

Can i pick you brains? i'm looking at getting power in my shed up on the plot and need a little help.
At this current moment i have two 12v car battery's and a solar powered trickle charger to keep them topped up.  I want to run a radio a few led lights when needed and one maybe two small water pumps (to go on once a day by a timer).  the trouble i'm having is working out what the safest size wire/cable to use, i would like to do it as cheap as possible.

At a later date i was think of adding a small home made wind turbine too the system for an extra power charging boost.  If it works and the battery's keep the charge and not drop to much, i was thinking of adding a small tube heater in the greenhouse for the early planting of the seedlings next year.

Any ideas or advice to help with the project would be great.

Thanks Dan
