7. Electrical systems and charging
Please run the main engine or the generator for 1.5 hours in the
morning and evening as a minimum to keep your 12v batteries
charged. On the electrical panel if you see the voltage below 12.3v it
is time to recharge your batteries.
Main Engine:
Your batteries will be charging whenever the main engine is on. Ensure that
you are in neutral and that the tachometer is registering 1400 revs.
N.B. It is more efficient to charge your batteries off the generator when you
are stationary rather than running the engine.
In the event of generator
failure run the engine as above.
