On rereading the rant, I disagree with one point:
The ranter attempts to score a point by noting that the EchoCharge never stops
providing charge current to the auxiliary battery. That voltage is about 13.0
volts, a perfectly sustainable long-term charge voltage and a very useful one
as it
I was too busy with a CRYC board meeting to get a wiring diagram done, so here

the Regatta al Sol. The race begins inside Pensacola Bay and finishes at
Isla Mujeres, Mexico, a distance of 555 nm.
He is in the cruising division which starts Wednesday at 1100 CDT. The
racing division starts a day later.
I hate it when I miss a good rant. Please change subject line when
ranting so that we can all see and appreciate a rant!
Many subjects are of lesser interest to me so I delete entire batches of
emails based on subject line.
Dang - a good rant missed.

The noted rant was on another site and referred to in our battery discussion.
You may have deleted the reference:)

And if anyone’s interested, I’ve got a spare Blue Sea 8280 panel I’d sell you

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
Most alternators I’ve seen (without an external regulator) will put out about
13.8V to 14.4V when charging.

An alternator, if no external smart regulator is present, will put out whatever
the internal regulator is set at. It could be anything from 13.4 V to around
14. For a shore charger it is best to have a smart charger that will reduce the
voltage to around 13.2 to avoid boiling off the

An alternator with a fixed set point will try and reach that voltage but not go
over. It may not be able to reach it if the batteries are low and/or demand is
high, but it will not go over. I have an adjustable regulator with a set screw
to turn the set point from about 12 to 15 volts. Various

One big issue here is that a lot depends on how much you use your batteries and
how much you use your engine. If you motor a lot, you may have a chance of
recharging the batteries (fully or close to it and even overcharging them (as
Joe said)). But if you mostly sail and use the engine as

sort, and the whole dock reserved for us. I've spoken to the folks at CC and
they are amenable to the idea of having the new CC 30 and

Typical voltage regulator on an automotive alternator will provide 13.6 to 13.8
volts when the engine is running. As the batteries get charged up, which
happens pretty quickly for a starting battery, the internal resistance of the
battery will increase and the voltage will drop below 13.5.
