Marine & Jetski

Intense vibration, constant rocking and wave pounding, and trailer transport can all affect your battery. It’s important to buy the right battery to provide power to on-board accessories like your stereo, lights, fish finder, GPS and more. Higher energy applications like a fridge or winch may even require an additional house battery running alongside the engine’s Starter battery.

Think of a Marine Starting battery like a regular car battery but designed for Marine application. It delivers cold cranking amps (or “grunt”) to start the engine, and is then continually charged by the alternator. Starter batteries are a must for getting your boat or jetski on the water.

A Deep Cycle battery is better suited to longer-term or continuous charging, such as for overnight appliance use. You’ll want a Deep Cycle Boat battery to power fridges, winches, live bait tanks, communication equipment and more. Deep Cycle batteries are built to discharge up to 80%, meaning you can run your Deep Cycle battery appliances for a long time without worrying about depleting the charge and it not recovering.

In the middle, you have our Dual Purpose batteries. These combine the best of deep cycle and starting batteries, providing short bursts of starting power as well as longer cycles for your appliances and accessories. Dual Purpose batteries are ideal for running your minor boat accessories and starting your vessel. On smaller watercraft, usually 17ft and below (depending on your boats accessories) they do both starting and house power roles as a main battery. Like Deep Cycle batteries, Dual Purpose batteries are more comfortable being depleted, though are best discharged up to 50% only. We do recommend trickle charging all your boat batteries to get the longest life.
