Love the principles. As a previous 'Network Engineer' we many times say 'The only thing that changes is scale...scope is the same'. Jeff does a nice job of sharing concepts that apply, regardless of scale.

Thanks Jeramey, as a previous network engineer really appreciate the feedback.

Who are you and how did you become the best educator on KZbin?

I'm just a dude that is very passionate about marine electrical systems. Thanks for the feedback.

I’m going to remove 2 -8D batteries and replace with 6-6vdc lead acid deep cycle batteries. Do you have any suggestions or must do first steps before disconnecting old batteries and then before connecting new batteries. As far as I’m concerned, you guys are the guru’s. Great videos and help us commoners. 😃

I just bought a boat where the Charger/Inverter is switched through the original 15 amp charger breaker. The flow through then passes through to the receptacles breaker (15 A) and water heater by-passed (shore power only). Having a 100 amp (8A AC) charger plus the recaptacle loads, should the original charger breaker be changed to a larger amp load?
