liveaboards; how much power are you using?
I'd be really interested to know how much power peopleare using on their
boats. It neednt be too exact, though it would be nice if you had some real
Ah figures, but just generally what size of battery bank you have, what you
use on a daily basis in terms of power, and how often/how long you need to
charge for.
Im about to fit out a thunderbird 26 for cruising and its really tough to
figure out how much power and how much charging im going to need. What im
thinking is probably a single 100Ah AGM battery, a 2000watt generator hooked
up to a 30A charger. I dont really have a lot of power needs, just lighting
(flourescent), a cd player that gets used a couple of hours a day, Nav
lights, and power for my GPS/notebook as needed.
Im hoping to get 2 to 3 days use without charging.
