What Is A Marin Battery?
Marine batteries are designed specifically for use on a boat, with heavier plates and robust construction designed to withstand the vibration and pounding that can occur on board a powerboat. For this reason, marine batteries are usually more expensive than automobile batteries, which can tempt some boat owners to purchase an auto battery instead of one designed for marine use. Don’t make that poor decision. A marine battery will last longer and be more reliable than an auto battery in a boat.
Types of Marine Batteries
Marine Starting Battery
A Marine Starting Battery provides a quick and powerful burst of energy over a short period fo time to start the wngine and is designed to be rapidly recharged by the engine's alternator. A starting battery should not be used to power a trolling motor or other onboard accwssories.
Marine Deep-Cycle Batteries
Marine Deep-Cycle Batteries are designed to discharge slowly over a longer period of time and to withstand several hundred charging and discharging cycles. Ifyour boat is rigged with more than one battery, deep-cycle batteries are the right choice for powering an electric trolling motor and other battery-powered accessories such as audio systems, a windlass, depth finders and other applications.
Marine Dual Purpose Batteries
Marine Dual Purpose Batteries combine the performance of a starting and a deep-cycle battery. While it is not as efficient as separate batteries, a dual-purpose battery is a good choice for a smaller boat that may not have space for two batteries.

PowerModule Series
PowerModuleSeries is a range of 12, 18, 24, 36 volt Lithium Iron Phosphate battery modules, available in a variety of capacities, to be used as the building block of a larger energy storage system by assembling in series or parallel. The modular approach allows for flexible configurations to match almost any voltage and capacity requirements. Prototype systems can be assembled faster than any time previously, therefore reducing project development time and decreasing non-recurring engineering expense. PowerModule batteries offering intrinsic safety with twice the run-time and 70% the weight of similarly sized sealed lead-acid batteries. The PowerModule battery offers energy storage solutions in standard battery sizes (per the Battery Council International) for a wide variety of applications.
Offseason Storage
Battery maintenance during the offseason is critical for long battery life. Batteries naturally lose some charge when stored, so even if the battery is fully charged when you put the boat away in the fall, by spring it could have become significantly discharged.
Follow these basic tips when preparing to store your boat:
- Before offseason storage, completely charge all batteries and disconnect the terminals so nothing can draw them down.
- if there's power available at your storage site, connect the battery maintainer/charger during the offseason to keep your batteries fully charged.
- if your boat has an onboard charger, it will maintain the batteries. Leave the charger connected to the batteries.
- if there is no power at your storage site, remove the batteries from the boat and store them where they can be connected to a battery maintainer/charger. Store batteries off the floor to help keep them at a stable temperature.
