MAke sure you get the right Boat Battery

Having been around but it's for a large part of my life always amazed how many people end up sticking a five year old car battery in the back of the boat, hoping it can have their outboard when they need it. The use of incorrect Boat Battery types in marine vessels is exceptionally common, and I wonder how many times it gets people into trouble. The discharge capabilities of a car battery are hugely different from that of the marina with the cell battery, which are designed to be able to lose in some cases up to 50% of the charge without suffering damage. this is not the case for normal water battery which is designed to be trickle charge via an alternator, and the loss of more than 5% of its charge can result in permanent damage. Not a good type of battery to get you out of trouble on the open sea or on a large expanse of open water.

I have created a new website dedicated to the humble Boat Batteryin the hope that visitors will read the information provided and go out and acquire the correct battery for their boats. Using the correct equipment is vital to marine safety and should not be overlooked. So many people are far too complacent about what appeared to be minor issues, until they find themselves in a desperate situation which requires them calling for external assistance. In worst case scenario is they don't even get to call for that. So check out the site, see if you find the information useful and get the correct battery for your boat.
