electrical question?

[hsaddock]

I have done this with both the old battery boilers as well as the
latest technology multi stage chargers while plugged into shore power
and working on the engine and a few time running down the highway
(with the ACs on) with the generator running - no problem with the
alternator. However, I have blown out alternators in my boat by
momentary disconnecting them while the engine was running (switching
from one battery bank to another)
