Deciding On The Appropriate Boat Battery For Your Boat - An Important Aid To Water Safety |
| |
Having lived and spent my life around boats for a major part of my life I am constantly amazed how numerous people end up installing a 5 year old car battery in the rear of the yacht, with the hope that it can start their outboard as soon as they require it.
The use of improper boat battery varieties in open water vessels is all too widespread, and I wonder how many times it gets individuals into danger.
The discharge capabilities of a car battery are vastly different from that of the marine battery, which are intended to be able to lose, in many cases up to 50% of the charge without the chance of suffering damage. This is not the case for the standard automobile battery which is designed to be trickle charged by the use of an alternator, and the loss of greater than 5% of its charge can possibly result in permanent damage. Not a good type of battery to get you out of problems on the open sea or on a wide stretch of open water.
I have formed a new web page dedicated to the humble Boat Battery in the hope that site visitors will examine the information supplied and go out and buy the correct battery for their vessels. Using the right equipment is central to marine safety and should not be overlooked.
So many people are much too complacent on what look to be small matters, until they find themselves in a frantic position which necessitates them calling for external support. The worst case situation is they don't even get to call for that. So check out the website, see if you find the information useful and get the proper boat batteries for your vessel.
