What are Deep Cycle Marine Batteries?

Deep cycle marine batteries are designed specifically for life on the water. Made using durable components, a deep cycle boat battery is built to provide reliable, continuous power in a number of marine applications. Deep-cycle marine batteries are made with a thicker plate construction compared to other types of batteries. The thicker plate means the battery is less likely to overheat and is designed to withstand the rigors of engine vibration, wave pounding, trailer transport, and high temperatures in heavy currents or harsh weather conditions.

 

Are Marine Batteries and Deep Cycle Batteries the Same?

Regular marine batteries are often used as starter batteries also known as cranking batteries, but can sometimes be used as dual-purpose batteries too. Starter marine batteries are usually designed to deliver short bursts of energy, such as providing a surge of power when starting an engine.  A deep cycle boat battery is designed to provide continuous power over a period of time. A deep-cycle marine battery will feature thick, solid plates that are heavier than those used in starter batteries.
