Share what has worked for NWE Ten years of flotillas to Alaska
This year Five boats to Prince William Sound
>100,000 miles of West Coast of Vancouver Island and Alaska travel
>250,000 cumulative miles traveled
>30,000 cruising hours

MORE THAN ONE WAY Many very knowledgeable owners in attendance
Welcome your input
We have clients who may spend two weeks on a boat
Systems◦ Simple◦ Reliable◦ Easy to use◦ Consistent between boats

Inverters What are they?
◦ Convert battery power to 110 volt outlet power◦ Can use house hold appliances when:
◦ Not plugged into shore power◦ Generator not running
◦ Battery Charger ◦ Often best charger on the boat◦ Usually can charge 120 AMPS in bulk charge mode◦ Average about 100 AMPS per hour in charge mode

Some Common Uses Power Toaster
Microwave
Ice Maker
Television & DVD player
Lights
Blender
Mixer
Hair dryer
Coffee Maker

Common OEM Installation Normal factory installation of alternators
◦ 70 – 100 AMPS◦ One engine charges start bank◦ One engine charges house bank◦ Cruise at 8 kts◦ Given engine RPM most alternators at cruise output about 50 AMPS◦ 25-35 AMPS to run boat◦ 15-25 AMPS left to charge batteries
![Page 7: Hot Coffee in the Morning (Without Waking her up!) NE EXPLORATIONS PSGBOA 2014.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dd05503460f94ac5413/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
House Battery Bank Four 200 AMP batteries = 400 AMPS
◦ At 12 volts, 50% discharged – fully charged at 112.6 volts◦ Need to put 200 AMPS back in batteries
![Page 8: Hot Coffee in the Morning (Without Waking her up!) NE EXPLORATIONS PSGBOA 2014.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dd05503460f94ac5413/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Stuff to be aware of Batteries connected to inverter
◦ 12 volt battery fully charged at 12.6 volts◦ 50% discharged at 12.0 volts◦ Bad stuff happens when you go below 12.0 volts
◦ Cables can get hot◦ Switches can burn out◦ Battery life shorten◦ Lower voltages can ruin battery

How long does it take to charge my Batteries?
With alternators while cruising – 20 AMPS /hour = 10 hours.
With Generator – two hours
When remote panel on inverter says “float Charge”

Experience – Let those sleep who want to sleep
Batteries with lots of capacity
No generator running
Cup of coffee early in the morning
