The most important things you have on a powerboat – aside from your engine – are your batteries. The most crucial aspect of understanding your power is to know how much you use in a given timeframe, and how long it will take to restore your battery power to full capacity. There are a couple of easy ways to maintain your power.
First thing is to know how to monitor the power you have available. For example, if you have 100 amps of battery, fifty percent is useable and fifty is to maintain voltage. It is always wise to have a system that has a cut-off voltage built in. A cut-off of 12.2 volts is great.
Next is to know how long it will take to restore full power. It is also a very handy way to be sure you do not get in trouble while enjoying your recreational time. It is recommend that you put your system under the most extreme situations at home or at the marina to understand just how much time you can run your equipment before you have no power available. Recharging to full capacity will allow you full understanding of turnaround time in extreme conditions.
