Marine Batteries
Marine batteries provide 2 essential services: Start your motor, power your electronics and lights, both services are vital for your safety and enjoyment on the water. We offer a wide selection of marine batteries in a variety of sizes.
There are 3 types of marine batteries:
- Starting Batteries are built to crank your engine
- Deep Cycle Batteries are designed to run the electronics for long periods of time
- Dual-Purpose can provide both services

Battery Storage Capacity
We recommend your marine battery is capable of storing 4 times the average daily consumption. If your boat consumes 150Ah per day on average, consider purchasing a marine battery with 480Ah of storage capacity. This will avoid deep discharges, and reduce recharging times. Learn how to measure your boats daily battery consumption.
