Does anyone know where a Hotel might be around Lake Monroe that has a power outlet outside for charging boat batteries? We usually stay at the one next to the Cracker Barrell, but we have to take batteries out of boat and tote them upstairs to the room to charge them.
If anyone has suggestions of any kind for charging them, please let me know.
Thanks,
Lester
That's a good question. I get around the Sanford area some and can't remember seeing a boat friendly hotel nearby. You might look into the business corridor just west of I-4 on International Parkway. Several hotels there but not sure of the boat friendly thing or competitive prices. Good luck and give us a heads up if you find one please.
Cabins at Blue Springs state park if available. Or room on backside of Deltona inn. But sleep with an ear open at Deltona inn.
I carry a 100 ft. drop cord when I stay at hotels. Look all around the building, especially if there is an ice machine on the ground floor. Also utility closets sometime have an outlet on the outside wall.
There is usually one somewhere. Problem is if there are several boats staying there, all looking for a plug.
If you do this please do not create any trip hazards.Quote:

In the past, I had a 12 volt system, and we would carry the battery to the room and charge it overnight. I now have a 24 volt system, and I really don't want to carry 2 batteries up. If we take 2 extra batteries, switching them out will also be a pain.
Just use a generator to charge batteries, after 1 night of that thing running in the parking lot I'm sure the hotel will find you the closest power outlet:Rofl
Use a power inverter from your vehicle battery to run your battery charger. Let vehicle idle till boat batteries are charged.
Just run ex-cord out your room, under the door to your boat. Have done it many times. Makes no difference if your up stairs, just drop the ex-cord down to the boat....:fish
