I'm amused.
The threads and priority of folks are so diverse on CF. I'm huge on power management on board after
living aboard almost 18 years. That's just me. Blow driers, space heaters, and coffee makers are
dock appliances for some of us on CF. I use a coffee pot or
stove top french press for coffee. When you look at the path from
battery to
appliances your talking about it gets interesting.
Charging source -> DC 12v
battery -> Inverter AC 12v -> RESISTIVE heated appliance... Basicly you change the
electrical characteristics and then short the power/battery out so you can heat
water, or blow the heat into the air/hair...
Inverters just add to the inefficiencies. 80%...

When I
purchase an
electrical device I ask can I charge it with 12v?
Can I use a switching voltage
regulator that will fit in a 12v
plug to power it off 12v DC?

Laptops run off 12v travel chargers.
The only thing electronic we have to use an inverter for is an inkjet printer. So we end up with a 200 amp
plugin inverter that we use on occasion to print.
My Humble Opinion :-)
