help ,in a senior moment i cant remember what a battery charger for shore power is called,and if you have any idea of a good suplier that to would be usefull,thanks.Kieron
 
Its a battery charger, or am I missing something? What number and type of batteries are involved?
 
There is a differance, for years we supplied Sealine with battery chagers, they charged up to 14.3 volt. But as all the other builders were fitting simple 13.6 volt chargers, Sealine followed suit, these were called shore support.

So a shore support provides power when shore AC is available at a float voltage, a battery charge goes to high voltage to charge a battery, then goes to a float support voltage.

Though in this case I think he means a charger.

[/ QUOTE ] Several of Sterlings range of "Battery Chargers" have what is called "Power Pack" mode or function

Just found the instructions for my Sterling ProCharge - the POWERPACK functions is described as "Full current is available for on-board supply" during the float stage.

Thats what I said, the charger's we built back in 1985 supplied full power in float mode for domestic loads.

Back to the thread, what is your DC loading ? that is average and max

For low loads and intermitant use a cheap car charger may be all you need.
