OK - really stupid question.

My boat has been dockside for 3 years on shore power. So, batteries remain fully charged.

This year I''m moving to a mooring. How do people deal with power issues?

Do batteries maintain sufficient charge to start the engine after a week or two?

I do not want to install solar panels or wind machines to charge/top off batteries. I suppose that only leaves me the option of charging via running the engine (if I have the power to start it). Is it practical to use a small generator to charge instead of using the engine?

Thanks in advance for your help.
