Really? Mine (well Lenovo with an IBM logo) wants 18V, or so goes
the documentation.
My old NEC will run on 12+V, but needs 18V to charge.
If the battery is already dead, that would be fine. 12V power will
drain the 14V battery completely anyway.
For a boat, I'd go with a DC-DC convertor.

... When you say that charging will use a fraction of the power of the generator because most of it is used by the propulsion, you are right when you consider riding at nominal speed. ...

You do not need to modify the charger itself - it bases lowering the current on voltage only, and "relaxing" will make sure that battery voltage will not go high enough to start throttling down the current. ... it does not matter how to charge it as long as you do not cause ...
