Folks,

While looking at charging systems for the new boat I stumbled upon http://www.stealth1charging.com/. 

My problem is simple......I will be keeping the new boat on a dock a lot of the time and am looking at charging the batteries via a

Honda generator, so anything that helps gets my attention.

 

I am looking to power a 24 volume system and a separate battery for electronics and wells.

 

Any input is appreciated.

 

Thanks Al

 

 

 

 

Make sure the generator you use puts out a pure sine wave. Some generators and inverters put out a modified sine wave and many electronics don't take too kindly to that.

This is what I have and it is rated for computers so I think it is pure, but will double check.

Man...that's a bummer that you'll have to charge with a generator.  No way to run power to the dock?

Working on it....but may have to start the yr on a generator.

..........but can easily pull the boat if needs be.

That's a big reason for going 36 v TM

 

That Honda eu2000i is a nice generator.  We ran 2 in parallel in our bbq competition trailer.

I’m guessing it’s not a pure sine wave- being rated for electronics is still ok and any generator or battery back up can work with electronics with out having pure sine output.  I don’t think this is a huge issue personally.
