Yes, if you have big engines that is not the way to go at anchor. It
works very well underway however to minimize generator run time.

Well, of course the main engines charge the battery while under way,
and usually it is comfortable to sleep at anchor without air
conditioning but there are nights when it rains or the mosquitos are
out, that it is nice to close the boat up and turn on the air con.
Then I want A.C.
