In a motorboat, a shore power charger is good to have as a backup when something has gone wrong. In a sailboat, it can be part of the charging solution.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

All boat owners should strive to be self-sufficient. It makes life on board more comfortable and secure. So how do you achieve that? You make sure that the battery bank<\/a> is large enough for your consumption needs, and you make sure to charge continuously with solar panels<\/a> and\/or a wind turbine. For a sailboat, the above is really a given, since they do not run the engine and charge that way in the same manner as a motorboat.<\/p>

The shore power charger should not be something you have to rely on. As soon as you come to a dock and connect to shore power, you risk galvanic corrosion, because there is sometimes a voltage drop in the outlets on the dock since the grounding rod is located far up on land.<\/p>

However, it does no harm to bring a galvanically isolated shore power charger with you just in case. Usually, the smallest shore power chargers are sufficient for motorboat owners, while a sailboat owner should have a somewhat more powerful charger that can support-charge the battery bank when needed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
