Florida Boating Today, Deep-Cycle Boat Batteries

Explain the Basics of a Marine Boat Battery?

Question?

Q: Any thoughts or opinions would be too cool. A very green boater I am, recently buying a Boggy Creak 16' center console boat. It has two west marine dual purpose batteries installed near the middle of the boat. I am looking to get a brief summary about marine batteries? A tough one for me.

Adios amigo.

Answer!

A: Ahoy-Hoy! Your West Marine battery is most likely a lead-acid type of battery and should provide great cranking power if you keep it charged up. However, when you are anchored and fishing at night, the lights, music, and any other phantom load stealing device is draining your battery system.

With a dual system, you simply switch to either battery A or B once you turn the engine off. Then, switch to the other one just before cranking it up.

A good day of boating generally means a good day with your Marine Batteries! Good call, as understanding your Boggy Creek dual purpose setup is very advisable. Alright, there you go.

All right now, cool to be of service. Perfect way to end the day.
