Air Conditioner Question

Recommended Posts

I have a 2001 282 CR with a factory installed Air Conditioner. Is there a way to run the Air Conditioner off battery power? Currently, mine only runs off shore power or my generator.

It will not run off battery power. You could install an inverter, but that makes no sense since you

already have a generator.

Not really. Your air conditioning system runs on 110V AC, and consumes a fair bit of power when its running. In theory, you could run it off a number of 12V batteries connected in parallel, with a VERY high wattage marine inverter, however this would cost a small fortune to set up and the batteries would be drained in no time at all. Shore power or your boats generator, are the only real options.
