Re: Cranking or dual-purpose

alot of people use two batteries a deep cycle for accessories and have a cranking battery for........cranking.

Depending on the size of your boat and the accessories two would be best but if you only go with one make sure you have a booster pack close at hand just incase

Thankyou for your reply, Don't really have any acc. to run just the radio when at the sand bar. I think I will go with the cranking battery with the jump pac for a back-up

Interstate Dual Purpose one battery

dual purpose because it will enable cranking and be able to power the radio, but a def plus on the jump pack!

Thanks on the dual purpose suggestion can you charge these kind of battery's with a regular 10 amp charger or does it need a trickle charge or does the motor charge both?
