[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 392343, member: 15636"] Then buy a [b]dual-purpose[/b] battery! They have the cranking amps needed, but the design of the plates is heavier to allow more frequent and deeper discharges. That's all I used when I ran boats offshore with 2 or 3 battery installations. I NEVER ever had an electrical-related issue in 40+ years of boating, at least when I had done all of my own circuits and wiring. FWIW I buy all my batteries at Walmart as they are made by Johnson Controls, the same people who own/make the Optima line of gel-cell batteries. Each battery also has the date of Mfg code on them and they're always fresh, i.e., I personally would not buy a 6-month old battery even if new. [/QUOTE]
