So no charging for the 1st? I"m going to be putting in a BLUE SEA 7650 SOLENOID/BATTERY DUAL CIRCUIT SYSTEMor something similar to that, and have a real good battery i think but will need another. would be willing to get two new BAt's but would like to hear some advice. Got a REAL GOOD mechanic that will do me right I know, but doesn't hurt to do a bit of research. Thanks.

We use two batteries. One for the start only the the other is used for everything else. Great set up , I'd recommend it.

go with deka they are the best by far. you can get them at any car quest or sears

20simmons sea skiff

best price, academy, ive bought about 20 there over years, good batteries also, used car quest at work, phiff. academy usually last at least 3 years. had 3 in bass boat one each in simmons just use one in gulf boats high amp start/maint free. but only have 50 hp, recommend 2 for most boats. no body beats academys price or battery quality, im a retired diesel mech 40 years.

they say that all batteries are made by 2 companies, unless thats changed since i retired

most all batterys are made by johnson controls. all your walmart batts and most parts house batts all interstates are johnson controls also. deka is there own company. they make car quest and sears and a lot of the high end performance batterys. but like most companys if you spend enough money you will get something good. id rather have a cheap deka than a expensive johnson controls. just my opinion

I say again...Odyseey Batteries. The life of these batteries will lessen the initial cost. They are designed to last 10 years.

But with all AGM batteries you have to have the correct charger. You have to charge them up to 100% every time or they will lose there life expectancy. Cheap chargers will not do this. Before you buy a charger you must know the battery requirements to keep them like new.

Just buy batteries at Wal-Mart with 3-5 years free replacement. If it last 3 years, I get my money worth. If not, just return to get a new replacement.
