If selected items in the above charts do not match to your usage, make up you own chart similar to above, calculate the amp-hrs per day for each item you use on board, then just total the items and you will know your daily amp-hour demand. That key piece of information will enable the technical staff at e Marine to determine the necessary House Battery Bank size and alternate energy products (Solar PV & Wind) needed that can support your live-aboard lifestyle.
