![]() ![]() – Marine batteries, unlike car batteries, are more robust, stronger and durable to take a heavy beating on the waters and are designed to perform other diverse set of tasks. Marine batteries, especially deep cycle batteries are not only made for cranking power but they can also be used for prolonged discharge at high rates for a significant amount of time. They are not made for prolonged use without some way of recharging. They can put as much amperage as they can to start a car, especially in cold weather. Car batteries are purely made for cold cranking amps. – One of the major differences between the two batteries is how they are constructed. Marine batteries, on the other hand, are rated in Marine Cranking Amps (MCA), which defines the number of amps the battery can deliver at 0 degrees Celsius for a period of 30 seconds, and maintain at least a voltage of 1.2 volts per cell. This is the maximum output amperage a battery can sustain for 30 seconds in cold weather (- 18 degrees Celsius). – Car batteries are rated in Cranking Amps (CA) or Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) – an industry-standard rating that demonstrates a battery’s ability to start the engine in freezing cold temperatures. There are also dual purpose batteries, which are a combination of deep cycle and starter batteries. Marine batteries, particularly deep cycle batteries have fewer plates, but they are thick, high density and flat pasted, or a combination of flat and tubular plates. – Car batteries are characterized by a larger number of thin, closely spaced porous plates, which provide maximum exposure of active plate material to the electrolyte while offering minimal internal resistance. Difference between Car Battery and Marine Battery Construction Deep cycle batteries are the ones used in boats equipped with trolling motors. The two most common types of batteries used in boats today are starter batteries and deep cycle batteries. Like car batteries, the most common types of marine batteries use lead acid technology. Like a car battery, it’s a power storage device used to start the engine or power the lights and accessories, such as pumps, radios, and electronics. ![]() They are much powerful and robust batteries than a regular car battery, with enough starting power to crank over high compression engines and heavy-duty components to withstand the pounding and vibration that you normally feel when you’re onboard. Marine batteries, as the name suggest, are special purpose batteries used to power a boat. In a car battery, six multi-pate cells, each giving 2 V, are connected in series in a single enclosure to produce a 12 V battery. This results in a chemical reaction which releases energy and provides voltage and current. The lead acid battery used in cars is a heavy-duty automotive battery with lead plates inside the unit which are submerged into the sulphuric acid. The standard car battery used in the vehicles today is a 12-volt lead acid battery which powers your vehicle and delivers voltage to its starter. A battery is the most essential part of combustion engine vehicles. This zap of electric power goes to the starter which then cranks the engine. ![]() The moment you turn the ignition on, a signal is being sent to the battery which then prompts the battery to convert the chemical energy stored in it into electrical energy. A car battery or an automotive battery is a rechargeable battery that provides the juice to kickstart the electrical components of a car. ![]()
