Battery Charging
Each engine has an alternator which not only charges the batteries but also provides DC electrical power to
the boat. In addition, a fully automatic AC battery charger (Figure 3-24) is included in the Catalina 26 and
29 models and consumes shore power to recharge all three batteries. A standard 120V power cord plugs
into a battery charger inlet. The battery charger inlet is located on the port aft side of the cockpit on the
Catalina 26 and on the starboard side on the Catalina 29.
A manufacturer’s operation booklet is supplied with the vessel and contains additional information which
you should become familiar with. The charger is protected by circuit breakers on the Battery Switch Panel.
