battery question
Hi. We just bought a new Bayliner 175 and put her in the water for the
first time the other day. The battery was dead (and bad, it turns out), although I had started the boat the night before our trip. No matter. We pulled the boat out and had Advance Auto Parts install a new battery. Worked fine and we had a good day, except I noticed later that the battery is a marine *deep cycle* rather than a standard marine battery. I've heard deep cycles aren't really intended for engine starting; what do you all think? Should I get a marine starting battery or just live with what I have. Thanks. -- david |

Thanks. -- david Well, the parts store probably thought that because it was going in a "marine" application, then it should have a "marine-deep cycle" battery. I wouldn't worry about it. deep cycle batteries are made to be discharged (like trolling motor use) and recharged slowly. BUT, I don't' think you'll have much to worry about. I hade a '75 Pontiac GrandVille sedan (road boat) and had about every electrical option you could get at the time. the car battery died, I mean... just quit! and I had to get going, so I pulled the Sears DieHard deep cycle battery out of my Chris Craft, and put it in the car. It served faithfully for the next two years, till I got rid of the car. |

Maybe a 3.0 /4 cyl. But I 'm not sure if the 3.0 is still in standard production or not. anyhow, the Deep Cycle battery I had in my Pontiac had no problem cranking over the 455 c.i.d. regardless of weather. |

Interesting what the website states:
"The most affordable stern drive package on the market is the ideal family fun package, with features of boats costing twice as much." Knowing of Bayliners past reputation, does this mean you get double the bang for your buck? or you get half the quality of boat you should have? Just kidding. I hope David has lots of fun with his boat for quite some time. |

That is what touches on the difference. "starting batteries" usually have better cold weather performance but they like to be charged between starts. Deep cycle batteries are probably better suited to the abuse the average boater puts a battery through. There are deep cycles, deep cycle starting batteries, and starting batteries. The true deep cycle may not run a starter as they can not provide the large instant amperage. Plates are thick and not as much surface area. Deep cycle / starting are not as good deep cycle but have more surface area and provide good instant current flow. Starting, have lots of surface area, lots of instant current flow and thin plates. Deep cycle them and the thin plates can warp and short out. But will turn over high current starters. The thicker plates for less warpage and more empty space under them, so sluffing off off of oxides due to lots of chargings do not short out the plates. Most marine batteries in the local parts stores are strating/deep cycle types. |

Let's hope the former. From what I've read recently, Bayliner has
tried pretty hard to overcome its past reputation. In any event, we own it now; it was what we could afford today rather than wait until "some future date" when we "had the money" (yeah, sure); and, *my wife is very happy* (she grew up on the Chesapeake Bay). That last point settles it. Thanks for the info and humor! -- david |

Stick with what you have: if it ain't broke don't fix it. A deep cycle battery has fewer and thicker plates compared to a starting battery. The smaller surface area of the plates means you will get a smaller maximum current. Enough is enough, however. Remember, you won't have to contend with cranking at sub zero temperatures when the battery capacity is cut in half and the oil is really stiff. A deep cycle battery will have to be larger to provide the same cranking current as one designed for high peak current. Casady |
