Another electrical question! Here is what I have... I have a Hunter 41DS with two new 4D Batteries, approximately 400AH. I have not taken them her out for an extended run yet but we are about too. I carry a Honda EU1000i generator which has a battery charging plug but it says for "automotive type batteries". Not certain if this includes deep cycle. Also it is only good for 10a though. Here is my question.... which method is better. Should I try to charge the batteries directly from the Generator (it will take a long time) or plug the boat into the generator and let the boat charger charge the batteries? It seems the boats charger would be the better and faster way and that is the way I am leaning but I need some input from you all for reassurance and/or suggestions.
The Admiral hates to run the motor, or generator, for extended periods because of the noise.
