Using TC Generator to Charge Boat Batteries?
I pull a 17ft Lund fishing boat with my NL camper. On the back of the camper I have mounted a Honda 2000 generator that I typically use to charge my camper batteries.
In my boat I have a 3 bank charger that can charge 2 12v trolling motor batteries (plus the engine cranking batteries). The charger has a 15 amp capacity for each battery.
As I travel from one place to another to fish, I'm considering plugging in my boat battery charger to the Honda generator and - while driving to the next fishing location - running the generator to charge the boat batteries. To accomplish this I'd run an extension cord from the generator mounted on the back of the camper to the battery charger that's mounted in the boat.
Is there is anything wrong with running the generator to charge the boat batteries while driving down the road?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
