Ahhh...  Interesting that last Sunday I finally pulled out a 50 amp, old, very heavy battery charger because it not only took about the same space as a battery, but hummed constantly.  Turns out it weighed about as much as a battery too!  A prior owner had put in a ProSport 12, but it was

Listers, I’m looking to power some battery-operated items off the boat’s power and looking for a good source of step-down transformers to go from 12V to 4.5, 6, 3, 9, etc. DC. Can anyone recommend a good source? All the best, Edd Edd M. Schillay Starship Enterprise C&C 37+ | Sail No: NCC-1

Step down transformers work with AC, not DC. You need a DC to DC converter. Google DC to DC converters and you'll find plenty of sources. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Fri, May 5, 2017 at 12:45 PM, Edd Schillay via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Listers

If I had to guess the fuse is on the output or DC side of the charger. You might try taking it apart carefully to see if there is a fuse on the inside. Of course you need to make sure that your power coming in is good and connections tight. Likewise for the output. Also make sure that the batte
