- | 13A off a 15A shore power plug, or 1,560w is a safe limit for continuous power use. Assuming 10% conversion losses this would give us a **theoretical max of around 100A of converter charging** (14.4Vabs x 100A).((shore power amps are at 120vac, converter ratings are at their nominal DC voltage)) | + | 13A off a 15A [[electrical: |
