At the risk of beating a dead horse (battery), I have one more question for the list. When the average sailboat engine is running, what is the likely charging voltage to the battery or batteries? Unless one has an alternator output controller which matches the recommended voltages for the batteries being charged, it seems that they would be charged with whatever voltage the alternator supplies.
If this is the case, and if one rarely charges the battery(s) at the dock, it seems a little pointless to fret over what the voltage profile the battery charger provides, since the batteries are likely charged mostly when the engine is running without such a controller.
