What Is Marine Battery?

A marine battery, designed specifically for the unique demands of boating and other watercraft, is a deep-cycle battery built to provide steady, sustained power for onboard electronics and accessories. Unlike automotive batteries, marine batteries are constructed to withstand the vibrations and shocks encountered in the marine environment, ensuring reliable performance in challenging conditions. Some marine batteries even offer dual-purpose capabilities, catering to starting and deep-cycle requirements, making them versatile for various boat types and sizes.

Opt for a marine battery tailored to your vessel and specific needs to elevate your boat’s performance. Explore our range, which includes traditional lead acid, AGM batteries, rolls batteries or Lithium options from reputable brands like Rolls, Polar, and others.

Why Choose Marine Batteries for Your Boat?

Choosing marine batteries for your boat offers several distinct advantages tailored to the demands of marine environments:

• Deep cycle design: Marine batteries are designed for deep-cycle applications, which means they can discharge power steadily over an extended period. This feature provides continuous power to onboard electronics, lights, trolling motors, and other accessories, ensuring a seamless boating experience.
• Vibration and shock resistance: Boating often involves encountering rough waters and engine vibrations. Marine batteries are built with robust materials and construction to withstand these harsh conditions, preventing damage and ensuring long-lasting performance.
• Reliable starting power: While deep cycle batteries are optimized for consistent power output, many marine batteries provide reliable starting power when needed. This dual-purpose capability is especially beneficial for boats with smaller engines or limited space for multiple batteries.
• Durability: Marine batteries are engineered to be durable and long-lasting, able to withstand the rigours of the marine environment, including exposure to moisture, saltwater, and temperature fluctuations.
• Maintenance options: Marine batteries are available in various types, including traditional lead-acid, maintenance-free AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat), and advanced lithium-ion options. This variety lets boaters choose the battery type that best suits their needs and maintenance preferences.
• Versatility: Marine batteries are versatile and adaptable to different boat sizes and types, making them suitable for a wide range of watercraft, from small fishing boats to large yachts.
• Enhanced performance: By choosing a marine battery specifically designed for your boat and its intended use, you can optimize the performance of your onboard electronics, ensuring they operate efficiently and reliably throughout your boating adventures.

Marine batteries are essential for a smooth and enjoyable boating experience.

Marine Battery Application

Marine Starting Batteries: These batteries crank the starter of your boat’s engine. After delivering 75-400 amperes for 5-15 seconds, they are recharged by the engine alternator. These thin batteries have more plates, providing an extra surface area to generate high-amperage bursts of current. They should not be used for trolling motors or powering appliances.

Marine Deep Cycle Batteries: Designed to offer a lower and more steady energy rate to withstand several hundred charging and discharging cycles. This means you can run all your electrical equipment without worrying about charging your battery on the water. These batteries are great for powering an electronic trolling motor, audio systems, fish locators, bilge pumps, depth finders, etc.

Why Marine Batteries

These batteries are specifically designed for boats with heavier plates and robust construction. This helps the Marine Battery to withstand the vibration and pounding that can happen on any powerboat vs an Automotive application. If you want your boat to have excellent performance, choose a marine battery specific to your boat and use case. We have traditional lead acid, AGM or Lithium options from Rolls, Polar or other high quality brands.

Marine Battery Chemistry

Traditional Lead Acid Marine Battery

Traditional lead acid marine batteries, such as those from Rolls and Polar Brands, utilize lead plates submerged in a sulfuric acid electrolyte. They are known for their proven technology and long-standing reliability in marine applications.

Advantages:

• Cost-effective: Traditional lead acid batteries are generally more budget-friendly.
• Widespread availability: They are widely available and can be found in many marine supply stores.
• Robust and durable: These batteries are well-suited to withstand the rigours of the marine environment, including vibrations and shocks.
• Maintenance options: They come in maintenance-free and serviceable designs to suit user preferences.

AGM Marine Battery

AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) marine batteries from Rolls and Polar Brands use a design where a glass mat separator absorbs the electrolyte, providing a spill-proof and maintenance-free solution.

Advantages:

• Maintenance-free: AGM batteries are sealed, eliminating the need for maintenance, like adding water or checking electrolyte levels.
• Vibration resistance: They are highly resistant to vibrations and shocks, making them ideal for marine applications.
• Quick recharge: AGM batteries typically accept a faster charge than traditional lead acid batteries.
• Spill-proof: Their sealed design prevents acid spills, making them safer for the marine environment and easier to handle
