![]() And yes I know we are talking a different type of battery. I have had less luck with Sears Diehard batteries going back many years ago and figured Walmart would be about the same but cheaper but they have all lasted for quite a while. I mentioned Walmart for 2 reasons - 1) there's a Walmart everywhere and is readily accessible vs a Batteries Plus or whomever and the car batteries (3 or 4) I have purchased from them have all given me reliable service throughout the years, these were for different cars not for 1 car. I can tell you that some batteries can take a beating and continue to work pretty well. I don't work in either the car or boat industries but we use sealed lead acid batteries along with other types in the medical industry all the time I have never come across a deep cycle battery on anything I work on so I don't have a feeling for them. ![]() All batteries can explode or go on fire depending on certain variables. I think all sealed batteries don't off gas, at least that's what I've read. Yes, I wouldn't pay $50 more for one unless I was going to be on a boat. I don't see the logic in saying no marine deep cycle if the pricing is the same. So I learned that a deep cycle battery would not necessarily be marine deep cycle but if you can get a marine deep cycle battery for the same price of a standard deep cycle battery - still not marine? I read something about marine deep cycles are not as robust but I'm not so sure about a battery being constructed with the same battery technology and/or components not being the same I would actually call it BS. they're fairly in expensive, and they're ubiquitous. The current generic best battery to get is a "Mobility Scooter Deep Cycle" battery (all mobility scooter batteries are deep cycle). So, what you want is a NON-marine, deep cycle battery. and starter batteries (like in your car) that are built to delivery really high current but only a small fraction of the battery capacity. Then there are 'deep cycle' batteries that are built to withstand more juice being pulled out of them without breaking down. ![]() ![]() there are *marine* batteries, which are heavier, sturdier and more impact resistant, to take the added abuse on a boat. Many people say "marine deep cycle" like it's a single thing. Traveling with such a beast with something other than a car would not work (maybe wouldn't work with a car either) but if it was stationary in the event of a power outage it should work pretty well. I think Resmed says to get a marine deep cycle battery. ![]()
