This may be a dumb question, but...
I keep my boat stored in a heated building during the winter, and I have access to a 110v wall plug in the building.
On my previous boat, 44DB, I had two 30amp 110v shore power cords, so I figured out which cord fed the battery chargers and I was able to periodically top off the batteries by running an extension cord from the wall to one of the 30amp connectors using an adapter.
Now I have a 2017 460DB with a single 50amp 220v shore power cord. I can buy an adapter that will allow a 50amp to plug into a 15amp 110v extension cord, but my gut tells me that this will not work because it will only power 1 leg of the 220v.
I have a Pronautic 1250P charger on board. What is my best option for topping off batteries over the winter?
Thanks,
Scott
