At 11V you are already damaging most lead acid batteries, especially starter batteries.
If you only do it a few times it will probably take it, but not much more than that.

Easy big fella. I over generalized and I’ve been on the internet long enough to know that a fully contextualize and source siting answer is always called for. Also you’re explaining this to a guy who lives off of 400ah on a 29ft sailboat and hasn’t been to a dock or a slip in 5 years. I get it.

Actually when I lived off grid for 80 years, we used 7 AAA batteries on a rotation and recharged them by rubbing them on our wool sweaters, so those guys are totally right.

Wait, so you are saying you have either lived continuously on a 29ft boat for 5 years, or only have visited land by dinghy or something while its anchored?
Wild. That’s got to be a nasty looking hull though.
