Ask PYS
Q: The house bank (four golf-cart batteries) on my 36 foot Bavaria is drained after a day of use at anchor. What is your recommendation for solving my power needs?
— Lyall
Read More A: Hi Lyall. My approach for power systems is systematic. First, gauge the batteries with a digital battery monitor, so you can know your daily consumption, i.e., amp hours (AHs). A battery monitor is like your fuel gauge-it's absolutely essential. A battery monitor will inform you of exactly how many amps you are using at a given time and, more importantly, how many you've used, i.e., AHs. Second, make sure you have a dedicated engine and house battery bank. Battery bank separation is key for reliability. With the advent of battery combiners (e.g., Blueseas ACR) you'll be able to automatically charge both battery banks without using the battery selector switch. Third, reduce your charging time by installing an external smart 3-phase regulator and then getting a higher output alternator.
