Do you realize how many amps a 6000 btu air conditioner would require at
12 volts? Hey Larry, they don't just take heaters to the boat.

Yeah, but they're not smiling luggin' a 12V AC down the dock.

Hmm....My 8000 window unit in the computer room runs about 800 watts.....

800 watts divided by 14 volts (to be fairer) still equals a CONSTANT DRAIN
of over 57 amps!

Man, we're back trying to figure out where to stow these 3 ton submarine
cells, again, to run it all!....

Nope...A/C is NEVER gonna run off 12V!
