Battery Charger location on 2010 Beneteau Oceanis 50.5

[MC2019]

Delivered this boat from Grenada through the panama canal to costa rica back in aug-sept. Irma came through and wiped out the charter fleet, so owner ended up selling it just in a couple days after coming back to the PNW. Went back down and met the new owner, and now taking it back through the canal to the BVI's.

We are trying to find the battery charger in this boat. I assume its some were between the navigation panel and the batterys under the quarter berths. Any body have any good information for me on the location of this battery charger?????

Have a look in the cavities located behind the sofas in the saloon.

Possibly integrated with the inverter?

Thanks for the quick reply, pretty sure no invertor on the boat. Has a 7 KW cummins generator just aft of the main diesel. Nothing on the nav panel that says invertor, just charger.

It should be under the lower helm station bench seat.

If it has two service batteries, it will have a single Dolphin charger. If it has four service batteries, then it will have a second identical Dolphin. Go to the navigation desk, lift the squab, under there, will be a lift-up plywood panel (just sitting there). Under that panel, mounted on the forward section of the seat cabinetry, will be either one or two Dolphin 40A chargers.
Actually, you should be able to hear it/them cutting in regularly when you are on shore power. Also, in case you have not found it yet, at the end of that seat area, is a drop-down flap, concealing the main 12V breakers for engine, service, bowthruster, and generator batteries (as applicable depending on what this particular boat is optioned with).
