Why Are Dual Purpose Batteries the Best for Center Console Boats?
Harry Krause wrote:
If memory serves, my 1998 Merc Opti required a starting battery with really high CCA, or at least it said so in the manual. I ended up using a pair of AGM batteries that individually had pretty high CCA's, so I never had a problem. But I agree. Deep cycles are the way to go, especially if you have an engine that starts easily and you don't have to keep cranking to get it running. I prefer AGM batteries on "reasonably" sized boats. One benefit of AGM cells is their very low internal resistance which translates to high peak current capability. External wiring and connection resistance to the starter can be more a significant limit. -rick- |
