Hello Tony, thanks for your reply, that is helpful. My mistake, it is 20 batteries. They are "Powersafe" SBS40 by Enersys. I don't know why they previously installed so many small batteries rather than a few larger ones. Point taken about the safety issues with petrol generators on board. There is only a digital voltmeter connected to the batteries, no other instruments.
How do you arrive at the approx figure of 10 to 12 hours? Just wondering how I can calculate, even if it is very roughly.
Thanks.
