Why Are Dual Purpose Batteries the Best for Center Console Boats?
"Reggie Smithers" wrote in message ... I might have been sold a bill of goods (this wouldn't be the first time), but I was told by boat/us that the Marine Dual Purpose Battery would have the extra "cranking amps" for a longer period of time, than a Deep Cycle Battery would provide. I have twin 5.7 gas engines, which require high cranking amps. I had the same twin engines on our 32 footer and never had a problem using deep cycle. I did, however, opt for three group 3 batteries. They were large and heavy. The batteries were on a constant charge when on shore power with a 20 amp trickle smartcharger. I never had a problem starting or running equipment while away from the dock, including overnighters anchored or moored on a buoy. |
