I’m living in MN for this summer and have the boat up here. The only storage available at some of these places I’m looking at do not have outlets to charge my batteries in the boat with. Is there any other way to charge my boat batteries without having an outlet nearby?

A generator is the only thing I can come up with.

Does the storage unit have a light? I have been known to add a plug.

You can screw in a bulb/outlet adapter if the unit has a fixture. Or, wire in an outlet.

I just removed the light switch and replaced it with a switch/plug. You pick up the ground from the EMT. Swap it back when you move out.

I use a quiet generator when we primitive camp. When I fished harder a few years back, I would fishing a tournament at Rayburn and then drive to NE Texas for another tournament the next day. I put the generator in the back of the truck and charged the batteries on the drive.

The Honda ones are really quiet. I just installed one on a party barge. It really surprised me how quiet it was.
