Information on Marine Batteries
A starter or starter battery is needed to run the boat's main engine. You will also need a deep cycle battery to power your trolling motor and electronic accessories. If your boat does not have enough space for more than one battery, you should only choose a dual-purpose battery.
Trolling engine; A self-contained unit containing an electric motor, propeller and controls and attached to the bow or stern of an angler's boat. A gasoline powered outboard used in trolling may also be called a trolling engine if it is not the ship's primary source of propulsion. Trawlers are often lifted out of the water to reduce drag while the boat's main engine is running.
Marine batteries are designed to have the burst of power needed to start boat engines. They also have the capacity to power interior equipment and accessories. They are very resistant to heavy vibrations and conditions such as impact waves.
Lithium marine batteries are much better than other batteries. The biggest drawback here is the initial price point when purchasing. But considering the other benefits it provides over battery life, paying this price is a sensible option. Its advantages such as being safe, light and maintenance-free should not be forgotten. There are 2 main marine batteries; lead acid and lithium type batteries.
Boats need a starter battery and a deep cycle battery, or batteries depending on battery size. Lithium deep-cycle batteries provide both charge and discharge cycles, making them ideal for those who want long-term power. As for the advantages; They are 2 times more powerful than conventional batteries, are lighter, recharge much faster and have a much longer battery life.
Many electric boats have a rechargeable battery and the development of lithium batteries is very important for these boats. Electric boats do not need fossil fuels to operate. Motors get their power from batteries. The motors and their batteries are recharged by grid, solar or regenerative motors.
For a very long time, only lead acid batteries were used in battery technology, but with the use of lithium batteries, the interest in electric boats has increased considerably. Lithium batteries pack a lot more energy, are smaller and lighter. Small size is very important on boats. This is because they directly affect weight, buoyancy, speed and maneuverability. Lithium batteries can last up to four times longer than lead-acid batteries of the same weight.
Lithium batteries are much more efficient. While the efficiency of a lithium battery of the same volt and amperage is 98 percent, lead acid batteries operate at 80 percent efficiency. This percentage difference is proof that lithium batteries are much more efficient. An important feature of lithium batteries is their environmental friendliness. Lead acid batteries can leak acid over time, and the acid will get into the water. The escaping acid pollutes the water and harms all organisms in the sea. Lithium waste is much less harmful than lead-acid batteries, even if it gets into the water. Lithium batteries are more economical and cause less pollution.
