Shore Power Battery Chargers – 

The DC Breeze can be operated for extended periods when the boat is connected to shore power by using the boat's battery charger to supply the required DC current. As with the alternator-power system, the batteries are not "cycled" so long as the charger is capable of putting out 48 amps (at 12v or 24 amps at 24v) continuously. Used in this way there is no additional wear and tear on your battery bank. The important thing here is to make certain that your battery charger  can handle this output for extended periods of time without overheating. Most, but not all, 50+ amp chargers  will do this. Be sure and check with the manufacturer of your charger to find out. If necessary, increase the capacity of your charger or supplement it with a second unit.
