The starter battery will be stand alone and dedicated to just that task. The little Yammy rolls over very easily and won't take a huge battery to start it. The DC/DC charger will take care of keeping it charged.narfi wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 11:04 pm Sounds like a well thought out system! Will you have a start battery as well or will the wireless battery also be here for the engine?
I think I remember you were going to use a small gas generator. Are you planning on utilizing an oversized alternator for the house bank as well?
We have a Honda 2000 watt genny installed in the lazarette.
I suspect we won't need it much unless we're cruising for an extended period of time and it's overcast. As long as we can run our refrigerator we'll be good for power. The engine has a 100 amp alternator right now. At some point in time, if we find ourselves needing more charging from it I have bookmarked a Balmar and surpentine belt & pullies kit. That's a little pricey at the moment so we'll wait to see how well disciplined our power management really is. Of course it's all speculation at this point.
