I moved my boat to a nearby anchorage to avoid having to drive to the marina to do the same for every storm coming this August/September. (My club requires that boats be out of their slips when a hurricane warning is issued for our county in NC). Since I don't have solar/wind, at anchor there is no charging source for my batteries (start and house), which are installed with an ACR. I am uncertain whether I should have switched the ACR OFF (or not) but I decided to leave it in its normal ON position when I left the boat, assuming that it draws very little current, if any, when no charge source is available. I won't be back to the boat until the middle of September (or later depending on the storms) so it will have been at anchor for about 6-8 weeks. My question is should I have turned the ACR OFF or is it OK (for 8 weeks or so) in the ON position without a charging source? Charlie NelsonWater PhantomC&C 36 XL/kcb
