  • Some guys boon dock with AC and no generator. For that you need these kinds setups.
  • How long can a 12 volt AC run without a recharge from a generator? Will the bats recharge during the sunny day even with th unit running? Sorry for typo I'm on my tablet at the beach.

    With fantastic WiFi by the way, on the sand.

    everyone must be out for dinner. Lol
  • Run time will be determined by the air conditioner power draw and battery capacity. Many use higher voltage battery banks to reduce the need for extremely heavy cables.
