[Music]  hi I'm Jeff Cote with Pacific yacht  systems and I want to share with you a  little bit of advice on operating an  inverter charger and inverter and also  purchasing one there's gonna be a lot of  choice out there when you're looking for  an inverter charger and make sure that  when you're buying one you have the  ability of disabling the inverter but  keeping the charger function enabled  when you're at Shore power I can  there are countless voters that I've  dealt with that have been so  disappointed to realize that when they  lost their shore power not only the  their charger stopped working but their  inverter kicked on and when that  inverter kicked on and decided as it was  told to do to run all AC loads  potentially heaters or whatever AC  appliances were connected and it drained  the batteries and those drain batteries  didn't get recharged until AC power came  back or the owner came back on board and  the batteries were lost so it's really  crucial as a boater to really think  about why would I need my inverter to be  on when I'm connected to shore power and  I'm away from the boat and are there any  AC lows on my boat that I am okay with  running when my inverter turns itself on  when I'm not on board so as a general  rule of thumb and of course every rule  has an exception I always advise boaters  to turn off or disable their inverter  but keep the charger function on their  inverter charger enabled while they're  connected to shore power and away from  the dock if you've got further questions  on inverter chargers and wondering  what's right for you contact us at  Pacific yacht systems and thanks for  watching
