Eating Healthy for Life

After having worked around water craft for a major part of my life I am forever surprised how countless people end up putting a 5 year old car battery in the rear of the yacht, with the hope that it can start their outboard when they require it.

The use of inappropriate boat battery varieties in marine water craft is very widespread, and I question how many times it gets people into difficulty.

The discharge capabilities of a automobile battery are hugely different from that of the marine battery, that are intended to be able to lose, in many instances up to 50% of the charge without the risk of suffering damage. This is not the situation for the standard car battery which is made to be trickle charged by an alternator, and the loss of greater than 5% of its charge could result in permanent damage. Not a fine type of battery to get you out of difficulty on the open sea or on a wide area of open water.

I have formed a new website dedicated to the humble Boat Battery in the hope that visitors will look at the information provided and go out and buy the correct battery for their boats. Using the acceptable equipment is vital to maritime safety and must not be disregarded.

So many individuals are far too complacent with reference to what look to be trivial issues, until they find themselves in a frantic position which involves them calling for external support. The worst case situation is they don't even get to call for that. So check out the website, consider if you find the information valuable and get the correct boat batteries for your boat.
