That's how I have mine set up as well. Regular for starting, and deep cycle for everything else. Seems to work for me. --Mike "Eisboch" wrote in message ... "Tim" wrote in message ... Could be John.

I have my own ideas, but they don't listen to me. Maybe for the better. --------------------------- I've been seeing more and more batteries that are so-called "combination", meaning deep cycle/starting. I always used one deep cycle as the "house" battery and a regular battery as the "start" battery. If sitting at the dock or at anchor for an extended period of time with the engine off, listening to the radio and/or watching the fish finder, I'd switch over to the deep cycle. When ready to start up, I'd switch to the "regular" *or "both". But, it's been a while since I had a boat set up this way. *Things may have changed over the years. Eisboch- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I think the OP was wondering if it was actually practical to pay the extra for a deep cycle, or possibly not having deep cycle batteries readily available. from my experience, I think the OP would do fine with a couple car jobs, myself. |
