In late Feb 2012, had a Dual Battery Set-Up installed in our boat. Perko Switch with Barracuda Starting Battery (for "starting" as #1) and NAPA Starting Battery (as "house"-#2). Having trouble w/the Barracuda battery and marine mechanic says that we should get a new one. When I told him that I read an online article stating that a dual battery setup should be a Starting battery and a Deep Cell battery he told me "you don't need that". "You'll do fine with two Starting batteries b/c you aren't running anything big to be using a Deep Cell for". This is true. All we run when tied at dock is a cd player. He told me to get another Starting battery to replace the Barracuda one.
What do you think? Will two Starting batteries work for us?
