Generator on a boat to charge batteries?

by Malcolm <sweet@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mar 30, 2007 at 05:50 PM

Small cruiser (26 ft) with two 110 batteries, running up to 6 inside
lights, radio/cd player. Central heating fan for a Truma combi (LPG)
and maybe a laptop for a few hours per day. I really don't want a
generator, but if I am going out for a few days I don't want to be
caught short. I would rarely be using it anyway, as I imagine the
batteries would last two or three days easily, but if I did need to
charge them up, how long would it take with a small genny?

Is it better to use 240 connected to a 12v charger and charge
batteries, or to use the onboard battery charger on the genny?

What sort of fuel consumption would it use?

Just a few general questions really, as to is it worth it etc?

TIA.
