I recently bought a ProMariner Truepower 2500QS at a pawn shop the unit works like a UPS for shore power auto switching to battery backup when shore power is lost and is a 50AMP charger when connected to shore power that has 7 programmable (switch selectable) charging profiles for different battery . Unfortunately I really liked the way if functioned until it would go into error mode so I returned it for a refund.
My problem; I think I want one for the boat. I know that this could encourage me to eat up a battery bank in a few hours or could be a great convenience if used properly having 120VAC on demand and 50AMPS charging capacity.
My question to the Forum is, is this a good idea or is this a bad idea and your thoughts on why good or bad (1- Bad! $630 cost) also suggested battery capacity you would recommend.
Thanks for your thoughts.
