Battery/Shore Power

Can shore power and the batteries run simultaneously on a Rinker Fiesta Vee 250

Ian

Meaning what? When on shore power your charger is charging batteries and any 12v used - lights etc - are from the battery.

Is it okay to have the shore power running and also have a battery turned on to run the stereo at the same time?

LaRea

Yes, it is safe to leave shore power connected all the time.  Most people only disconnect shore power when they get underway.  That way, the fridge stays cold and the batteries stay charged.

@cschnetz now I understand your question and as @LaRea said, normal to do so. In fact depending on how you are setup if you turn batteries off your 12v systems may not work as this way isolate the charger feed too.
