With all the discussion about battery and charger efficiencies, a question occurred to me about a smaller scale project I've been pondering. Given a boat where all power (motor & amenities) is drawn at 12v, wouldn't it theoretically be more efficient if a backup generator were a dedicated 12v unit akin to running a car alternator and voltage regulator? It seems (on face value) that going from a 12v generator to a 12v controller to a 12v bank to 12v loads would reduce at least some of the controller/charger losses.
Warm Regards

If you want the truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against.
The struggle between "for" and "against" is the mind's worst disease.
