When unit is charging batteries can it run onboard appliances? Such as lights and bilge pumps

I charge my batteries with the pro mariner 20 and run lights, bilge pumps, etc with no problem. Obviously you need to run the charger to the batteries and not directly to lights, etc.

I really doubt it. I once put a question about running the live well while charging to ProMariner's support staff. The answer was "yes" because of the very low amperage of the small pump. Better you should contact them. They are eager to help.

I have my system wired in permenantly and run appliances as required. The Pro Mariner 20 is maintaining the battery it's the battery supplying power for the appliance.

I think you would be better off to use an inverter with alligator clips to run lights with a 12 volt Marine battery. ( I am assuming these lights are interior lights.)

Yes you can power the system by battery. Just be sure to use fresh batteries when installing them. The unit will have a visual and audible warning when the batteries are getting low to warn you to replace them.

I have separate charge controller for my batteries. I use the inverter to run my refrigerator most of the day. When the batteries get to low get to low on power I plug it back into the house power. Is your old combination unit a grid tie unit or a non-grid tie unit.

Yes and no The pump runs itself just off battery but, the charger that is hooked to household senses when the battery is discharging and recharges the battery if household power is available.

I have four different boat and wave runner batteries charging as needed. They are not in the boats.

Yes - as long as the docking station itself it plugged in to AC. When it's running on battery power it does not.

I thing it runs continuously like your refrigerator. Not sure of the power usage. However I did not notice a increase in my bikl

Yes. As long as the AC power is on, your system will run off of its battery power and the battery will recharge during the time the pump is not running.

I am very doubtful that you could run either of these major appliances. I run a very small frig/freezer on my boat that uses about 25 amp/hours per day. I think these much larger appliances have much larger compressors and would use a lot more electrical energy.

I don't see why not, the charger will not power the refrigerator by itself though.

Yes, that's exactly how it works. You can plug any regular appliance A/C cord into the unit and it will run it as long as the appliance is not too energy hungry (i.e. < 100 watts). This is a great portable unit and I highly recommend it.

Sorry, I don't know the answer. My boat has a dual battery 12 volt system. I routinely use the batteries (and run the engine) with the charger running.

You can run it while its charging, but not sure if that is recommended by the manufacturer. Mine will charge pretty quick though, enough for a quick shave.

Yes you can. It has 4 outlets that you can plug regular household items into and a different outlet that you can hook up to a household transfer switch if you have one installed in your house. I have run a batter charger, a portable water pump and had my camper hooked up to it at the same time with no problem.

This device doesn`t support the batterys.Your Charge controller & solar panels determon what charge is in your batterys. The amount of amps drawn from your battery to run this device is determoned by how much power your load is drawing from the inverter.I have 30 deep cycle marine batterys supplying power to my 2500 watt inverter & I run two 1000 watt electric heaters, my frig. and house lights when I have a good supply of sunlight charging my batterys at 14.3 volts from three 40 amp charge controllers.I have at times seen this inverter draw my batterys down on a very cloudy day to 9.6 volts and still put out 115 volts.Any lower battery voltage and the inverter will shut down, but will come back on automatically as soon as the battery voltage gets built back high enough to run the inverter.

Yes. Using an AC to DC power converter, you can run any 12v DC item. The converter will have acord with plug to plug into an outlet. The converter will also have an on and off power switch, to turn it on and off. From the converter, you can run your pos and neg wires going to your white slim marine light.
