Keep Your Batteries Charged With a Rutland Wind Turbine

For many cruising yachts and boats not connected to shore power keeping batteries charged can be a major headache. In countries where sunshine is guaranteed solar panels provide an effective method of keeping batteries charged. However here in North Wales the wind is far more dependable than the sun. The Rutland 913 is a the most effective way of charging and maintaining your boats batteries. The Rutland 913 is capable of maintaining charge in battery banks up to 450AH. For smaller boats the Rutland 503 can keep batteries topped up.

Selecting the right wind turbine can be a difficult task. Consideration needs to be given to many factors, including the type of boat, location, other charging systems, battery bank sizes, and on board equipment. There are also many ways of wiring a wind turbine into your existing system, most work but some are more effective than others. Then finally there is the question of mounting the wind turbine so it is strong enough to withstand strong winds and correctly positioned to be safe. Marine Electrical work in partnership with a local engineering company to ensure that you get the best installation possible. We will visit your boat to understand your requirements so that you will get the best from your wind turbine.
