Książka ta stanowi kompleksowy opis 12-voltowego systemu elektrycznego wykorzystywanego na jachtach do zasilania. W sposób przystępny wyjaśnia jak system taki działa oraz jak go zainstalować, utrzymać i naprawiać. Dowiemy się, jak łączyć baterie akumulatorów, jak je podłączać do ładowania, jak działają przetwornice, baterie słoneczne i jak wszystko połączyć, by uniknąć typowych błędów skutkujących upływem prądu, przebiciami czy zwarciami. Książka w języku angielskim.
