converter (or not)

Postby slipperyd12 » Tue Dec 05, 2006 9:16 pm

This electric sure is slow. On the 12 volt side I have. 1st circuit is left side reading light. 2nd right side reading light . 3rd left side poarch light. 4th right side poarch light. 5th front 12v outlet. 6th cabin 12 outlet. 7th galley
12v outlet. 8th roof fan. Can I just use a charger to keep my battery charged when running lights or do I need a converter? I will be plugged in to shore power at night in campgrounds :thinking: .

The charger will work, assuming it is large enough. I just have a 6 amp charger and that's what I do.

Yup same here, I float the battery with a charger. The 12V stuff I have doesn't pull much so it's not a problem.
