Three Types of Marine / Boat batteries
There are three lead-acid technologies available today in the marine market:
Flooded, Gel, and AGM.
Flooded cells are containers in which the electrolyte can move freely between the plates that make up the cells.
Gel batteries immobilize the electrolyte by adding a thickening agent.
AGM batteries use a fiberglass mat instead of a gelling compound to hold the electrolyte.
Neither AGM or Gel cell will leak if inverted or pierced. AGM and
gel cell batteries are popular for marine applications because they
will work even if at an odd angle and will not slosh in rough seas.
They also do not put out gas as much as flooded cell batteries because
of a slightly different plate composition. They will however accumulate
sulfates much faster.
Special chargers are usually required for each type of battery being
used.
A further distinction between batteries must be made by application. Broadly speaking, there are two applications that manufacturers build their batteries for: Starting and Deep Cycle.
-
Starter batteries are meant to start internal combustion engines. They have thin lead plates which allow them to discharge a lot of energy very quickly. However, they do not tolerate being discharged deeply, as the thin lead plates needed for starter currents degrade quickly under deep discharge and re-charging cycles.
Most starter batteries will only tolerate being completely discharged (below 10 volts) a few times before permanent damage is done.
However, in most cases, The Battery Life Saver electronic device can reverse the damage and restore to like new condition.
-
Deep Cycle batteries have thicker lead plates that make them resistant to degradation due to deep discharges. They cannot dispense charge as quickly as a starter battery although deep cycle batteries can be used to start combustion engines (you just need a bigger battery than if you used a starter type instead.)
For many marine applications two banks of batteries are used.
One for starting the engine and another for operating all other loads. This is especially true for cruise sailboats. Since the two banks should be isolated from each other, one Battery Life Saver electronic device should be used on each bank. If current draw is critical, The Battery Life Saver electronic device can be wired through a relay that allows it to operate only when engine or APU are operating.
Costly boat marine deep cycle wastage
Many sport boaters replace the batteries on their boats every year or even every 6 months to avoid problems and be sure they can start the engine when needed.
This is totally unnecessary since regular use of The Battery Life Saver electronic device will assure the battery user that it will work when needed
Simple storage of marine / boat battery
Boats frequently are allowed to sit for long periods between uses or are stored several months each year. This is a killer situation for a battery because sitting allows the battery to self discharge and the resulting low charge accelerates the build-up of sulfates on the plates.
The Battery Life Saver electronic device eliminates this problem especially if used with a low rate charger during storage. See The BatterySolver Package.
