How are GreenCruzer electric boats charged?
The boat’s batteries can be charged from the main grid with the in-built battery charger. The optional GC Solar System can charge the batteries during operation or while docked as well.
Can the battery be depleted while boating, what happens, and what is there to do, how can this be avoided?
All GreenCruzer boats come with an intelligent on-board computer, which indicates the charge level of the batteries, as well as how long the batteries can support the engine with electricity with the present level of operation. Thus the premature depletion of the batteries can be prevented, and the port can be reached in time if you monitor the indications of the instruments. Additionally, a supllementary combustion engine can guarantee reaching the port safely, in the unlikely case you failed to note the indications, or for any reason the batteries went flat prematurely.
What maintenance do GreenCruzer electric boats require?
