Deep cycle batteries used in UPS and telecommunication applications are rated in reserve capacity, which is the number of minutes the battery will maintain a constant 25A load at 80 degs. F until

Hi Bill, Yes, I understood that. After buying batteries with a much different profile than the others I've had (by mistake, as they were called hybrid marine batteries, just like the old ones), I was

Jeffrey, As a general rule, when you are using the Onan, use the 100 amp. With shore power use the 30 amp. The only time you are concerned with shutting off the charger is when using the Onan. I

Kent, I believe Jeff is talking about the Xantrex battery monitor which has nothing to do with the charger and is not connected to the charger. There are battery monitors which do actually control

Jeff, You need to know the recommended bulk amperage, top-up voltage (sorry, my mind has gone blank for the proper term for the high voltage necessary to charge between bulk and maintenance charging),

Jeff, I think the important thing is to have the right setting for the charger. If you did not change the type of batteries your charger (Dolphin? later Mastervolt)should be right. The xantrex is only

Jeff, Rather than looking at remaining Ah or %, I like to look at the number of amps going into the battery. I shut off charging when the number of amps going into the battery is less than 30. The

Hi Jeff, I believe you can find what you need by looking here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/files/Miscellaneous/ Bill Rouse did a fantastic job of taking the most

Good Morning Amelians, I just replaced my battery bank (12), and want to reset the xantrex monitoring system. I am charging the battery bank for the first time after some moderate discharging

Peter Pappas here Supermamu2000 #369. I am looking to purchase spares for the Genoa Furling Motor, the Main Furling Motor, and the Main Out Haul motor. Are these all the same motor or do I need to

Donato, The rudder is made of two halves so some evidence of a seam may be normal. Again the Amel rudder is new to me so if an expert like Oliver responds I would be listening to him. Have you

Thanks for the great help. We will post later some pics, but we are unable to evaluate how deep is the crack because it runs vertically along the shaft near the skeg face. So it's quite difficult to

I had the rudder down on our Maramu last spring due to cracks & poor repairs done when the one of the previous owners replaced or repaired the rudder shaft following a hard rounding (pure guess work

Hello Bill & al, We did something different; we installed a second independent “sea chest” serving the needs of AC, genset and Dessalator. As our new AC is Webasto, it needed significantly more

Hello Donato, removing the rudder blade is not a quick and easy job... Before telling you how to do it, I would like to know what is the extent of the cracks. Did you hit something or came aground? A

Donato, I am sure that someone will be back to you soon on how to remove your rudder. I thought that I would direct you to the File section of this Owners group where under “Amel Drawings”
