shieldssecurity Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hi All, A friend of mine has just bought a boat and he wants to bell it up. He was hoping to get something that might text him as well. Problem is..............no mains on the boat just loads of 12v batteries. Any suggestions??? Thanks Nick "25 years of experience has taught us to care about the smaller jobs and given us the expertise to succeed in the larger ones" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KateC Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 This was something I was about to ask on the forums as I wanted to alarm my boat with only 12v available. I was either going to find a panel that would allow itself to be set with a 'mains fail' or have to find a specialist 12v panel. The latter probably being the most expensive. Or, trick the panel into thinking it also has mains power present (somehow). I don't want to have to buy an inverter just for the panel.

KateC Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Is this Daitem stuff really expensive? Has anyone had any quotes for a pure 12V panel? Kate C x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 if i had the current available i would modify the main boared so that the dc input went into the baord after the rectifier. Alternativly as you say just run it in standby mode always and ignore the ac fail securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

hpotter Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Inverters arnt that dear these days, though might be an idea to make sure there are two batteries (to start the boat) & a switchover cos the inverter will be converting battery power to heat 24/7. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=224796 Or could google/ebay A & G : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
