Why not a car battery on my boat?

Standard car batteries (SLI thin plates) deliver high CCA briefly and recharge from the alternator. In marine use, discharges are long and deep — destroying SLI in weeks. You need marine AGM (thicker plates) or deep cycle.

Will a dual battery work for engine + cabin?

Only on small boats (<6 m) with modest loads. As soon as equipment grows (fridge, plotter, autopilot), split banks: starter (50-80 Ah AGM) + service (100-200 Ah deep cycle AGM).

For occasional weekend use, no. For liveaboard or long cruises, yes: weight savings and 100% usable capacity (vs 50% lead) pay back in 3-4 years.

Free 14-day returns for mainland Spain and Portugal if sealed.

How to choose the right marine battery

The most expensive mistake in marine use is fitting a starter battery for service duty: the thin plates of an SLI cannot tolerate deep discharge and sulphate within 4-6 weeks of anchoring. The opposite is just as costly: using a service battery (thick plates) to crank an outboard — it doesn't deliver enough CCA and the starter motor doesn't get the peak it needs in cold water. Each role demands its own battery.

Typical capacities by marine use

Use	Typical capacity	Recommended technology
Starter, vessels <6 m	50-80 Ah	Marine SLI or AGM dual
Starter, vessels 6-12 m	80-130 Ah	Marine AGM (vibration-proof)
Cabin service (radio, GPS, plotter)	100-200 Ah	Deep cycle AGM
Large bank (fridge, windlass, autopilot)	200-400 Ah	GEL or LiFePO4
Sailing yacht, 3+ day autonomy	400-800 Ah	LiFePO4 (low weight, 100% DoD)

AGM vs GEL vs Lithium in marine

AGM is the modern standard: sealed, maintenance-free, 90° tilt-tolerant, 4-7 year service life with proper use. GEL handles extreme depth-of-discharge better (80% DoD cycles) but charges slower and won't accept fast engine charging. LiFePO4 lithium is the premium tier: 4x cycles, 100% usable capacity, a quarter of the weight. 2-3x the upfront cost, but pays back in heavy use. Requires a lithium-compatible charger profile.

Leading marine brands

Fullriver DC / DCG / FT — world reference in recreational marine, 1,200+ cycles at 50% DoD.
MK Battery AGM and Gel — sealed, 90° tilt and heavy vibration tolerant.
Trojan AGM Marine — premium AGM for large vessels and long-autonomy yachts.
Varta Professional Dual Purpose AGM — official dual range for small boats.
Optima Blue Top — AGM SpiralCell, top vibration resistance for powerful outboards.
