Why You Need a Deep Cycle Marine Battery

Car batteries need to provide a surge to start your engine. This is different from a marine deep cycle battery that needs to have a reliable and steady flow of electricity. Think of all the things a marine battery must run:

  1. Navigation equipment
  2. Radio transmitters
  3. Lights and cabin electricity
  4. Water makers
  5. Water heaters
  6. Air conditioners
  7. Winches and pumps
  8. Trolling motors

This is why a deep cycle marine is favored on boats. The deep cycle marine battery is designed to discharge a small amount of energy over a longer period of time compared to a starting battery (like those found in cars). The deep cycle battery is designed to handle deep discharging (50-80%) and recharging repeatedly without damaging the battery’s total lifespan. Certain dual purpose deep cycle battery can also be used as a starting battery.

When selecting your deep cycle marine battery, a good rule of thumb is that the battery should be sized to supply 2-4 times the amount of energy that would be used between recharge cycles. Typical cycle time on a boat is every 24 hours but that will depend on use, recharge equipment and more.
