Information to help you choose the correct type of marine battery for your boat.
Some may think that just because they have a boat they must use deep cycle batteries only! Please note the different options that you should familiarize yourself with before choosing your marine battery.
THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MARINE BATTERIES
STARTING BATTERY
DUAL PURPOSE BATTERY
DEEP CYCLE BATTERY
Starting Batteries are used solely for starting engines. You can liken your boat engine to a car engine. In your car you have a battery that is used for starting the engine. Once your engine is started, the battery has done its job. From that point on, the alternator will take over to carry the extra load such as radio, air conditioning lights etc.
If you have a boat and all you need to do is to start the engine and be on your way, a starting battery is superb for the job. We recommend using a Deka 24M5 for cranking out boards and V8 engines. For maximum cranking you can use a Deka 24M7 that has 800 CCA or a Deka group 27M6 that has 840 CCA with a high reserve capacity.
These are some samples of batteries to be used just to crank your engine. A deep cycle battery is NOT required although you may use a dual purpose battery.
Dual Purpose Batteries can be used for starting your engine and for cycling as well. Perhaps you may have a bait well, or lights and radio that you run right off the battery. A battery such as a Deka DP24, DP27 or a DP31DT will take care of cranking and your accessories. These are built for casual discharging. (Not full cycling)
When there is a constant drain on the batteries, dual purpose batteries are adequate. They are able to be re-charged because the plates are thicker than the plates in regular starting batteries. The thickness of the plates allows the battery to be charged many times where as a starting battery does not.
Do NOT use a starting battery in this application because the battery will have a much shorter life than the dual purpose battery.
Deep Cycle Batteries are used for applications that are constantly draining the batteries more than 75% or more. The plates in deep cycle batteries are even thicker that that of dual purpose batteries. Because of the thickness of the plates it allows the battery to be recharged much more than as a dual purpose battery would.
Circumstances such as trolling motors or powering your house bank may normally be on their own power systems separate from cranking your engine. This is when you would want to use a true deep cycle battery such as a Deka DC24,DC27 or DC31DT. Many may use 6 volt batteries hooked up in series for these applications such as a Deka GC15 or Trojan T-105. These can be hooked up in series and then paralleled with other banks to accommodate 12 volt and 24 volt systems.
No matter which ones you use, the Deka deep cycle batteries are made for continuous deep cycling. We would NOT recommend using a dual purpose battery and especially a starting battery for your deep cycling applications.
