Edd, As I recall you are still on a mooring right? You're using the motor and solar to keep the batteries "charged"? If so then it is unlikely that you are ever really getting all the way 100% charged. As others have mentioned the only good way to use voltage as a measure of the state of

Not sure what youre asking but no way did the power drain frim the dources you report should cause a problem. Dont make new problems we got enough with these great older C boats On Fri, Jul 5, 2019 at 2:08 PM Gary Russell via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Hi Edd, > The battery

Hi Edd, I agree with Marek and Gary about the voltage reading not being a reliable indication of the state of charge. Here's an example from my boat. At noon my battery bank is normally back to full charge and the voltmeter shows 14.01V, cool. A second later the fridge starts and the voltage

Edd, to add to what Gary said... any measurement of the remaining capacity of the battery bank is tricky, because it depends on how accurate your in- and out- meters are, what the actual (current) total battery bank capacity is (it changes over time, never up) and at what SoC (state of charge)

Hi Edd, The battery voltage is only an indication of the state of charge of a lead-acid battery when the battery has been without load (or charge) for several hours. Otherwise, the voltage is pretty much meaningless. Many devices measure the state of charge by noting the difference between

Two possibilities: 1. It's possible that any loose wiring near the sheave at the top of the mast is getting pulled into the sheave. It happened to me, and I had to splice all the wires at the masthead. Try pulling the halyard back down. Even a little will help. Then tension the wiring from where

Listers, Last year, I installed a Blue Sea battery monitor and I’m a little perplexed about the readings I am seeing. Last night, before an amazing fireworks display at Hempstead Harbor (thanks to fellow Lister Neal Gallagher for the guest mooring), I looked at the display. Out of the 450

My hatch dogs are a mess - again. I think I have replaced them twice at least :( I decided not to pay a lot of money for threaded aluminum and plastic knobs, so I ordered these: https://www.mcmaster.com/2434k47  and these: https://www.mcmaster.com/5532t35 They fit and will probably last the

Hello listers, One of my 2 wire-rope jib halyards got “stuck” doing a pre-start sail change before a race last week. Wind was 18 knots and gusting so the sail was flogging around a bit. Water was pretty flat due to offshore breeze so not a lot of pitch/roll action of the boat. Most of the wire
