Your LCD screen needs about 35 watts. What problem?

I take your point, Steve.
And yes, economics do have an important part to play here.

But my boat doesn't have a diesel with a big alternator to recharge the
battery. So we are very frugal with our 'trons.

That 10 or 12% difference over a few hours a day can make a difference.

Is it possible to buy an outboard with a generator large enough to
charge batteries?
