I just purchased a shore commander 12/24 volt power boat lift direct drive hoist. It doesn't state in the directions that it is required, but I have been told that it is. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
A little complex to get into, but a deep cycle would be preferable as it delivers consistent power as it discharges...a starting battery will work but will deliver strong power and discharge rather rapidly. Go with a quality deep cycle.
save your self a heap of hurt,, take the problem to a sparkie and let them guide you
The battery you choose is best as large as you can find, and the charger should be sized for that battery too - not too big or too small. If you put the right battery and charger together you can expect 7-10 years of service from the battery. Go cheapo and you might be lucky to finish the season.
It could no longer rather count what kind the battery is yet what variety it rather is. the main suitable batteries are AGM (almalgamated glass matt) they are severe potential, could be fixed at any attitude and are good deep cycle battery's. It relies upon on what variety of boat you could desire to what length you desire. I sail a 40 seven foot yacht and it has 4 4 hundred amp hour AGM batterys. With a image voltaic panel and motoring a splash(no better than an hour or 2 an afternoon) it is pleanty of potential to final 3 weeks together as utilizing the flexibility inverter, television, microwave, 2 refrigerators and all the contraptions as properly because of the fact the espresso machile. AGM are a thank you to pass. ALL MARINE BATTERYS ARE 12 VOLT. they do no longer look to be 6 VOLTS, in case you connect 2 jointly you will get 24 VOLTS
Deep cycle is the only choice for this application. Get the biggest, baddest one you can find, and add a trickle charge. My ShoreStation with battery power sucks it dry in one up/down cycle.
