seanfitz 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
