Hello all you helpful boaters.......I have a question for you, and hope you can help me with an answer.
I have a house bank of two 6V batteries hooked up to give me 12 volts. The on board charger is a 40A.
I am planning on spending a couple days on the hook at Catalina Island.
If I fully charge my batteries before leaving, and then hook up my portable EM650 Honda Generator which outputs 550VA to my shore power cord with an adapter, will that generate enough power to keep my house batteries topped off for the two days, or would it be best to just use my generator to plug in appliances that I need to use?
My inverter is a 2000W Xantrex and if I use certain larger appliances, it will deplete my house bank fairly quick to below 12V and it will shut off for safety reasons.
Thanks for the help everyone!
