How much would you expect to pay for an marine/rv deep cranking battery?

Question

thanks

Answer 1

First answer good. I figure around $80 tops for the size.

Years ago I had this battery a friend give me for my boat. I used it for the Trolling motor. It was not a deep cycle, but, it was a heavy duty truck battery. Man, that thing last all day and talk about heavy, it must been about 60 pounds. Lasted for 5 years and that was used when I got it!!! I not sure how old it was when I got it. Never found who or where that battery was made by.

Two things to consider. Amps and here the clicker; bottom space. Many not understand, most batteries die from shorting out. How this works; as the chemical reaction takes place. Sediment falls to the bottom of the battery until it build to the point it short the internal plates. A good manufacturer builds the battery with a deep/high bottom reservoir and thick plates.

So, it will cost more, but, can last 7-10 years with proper maintenance. But, they may only give a 7 year max pro-rated warranty.

Answer 2

75 to 80 bucks

Answer 3

As with any combo type unit a deep cycle/cranking battery will not give you the service or life two dedicated batteries would give.  The cost over time would be about the same as each battery would last longer and give better service if properly cared for.   It also gives you the peace of mind of a dedicated starting battery to get home when you dawdle too long on the house bank.  Around 60 to 75 each would get you good quality batteries.  Make sure they match your needs.  No need to overspec your starting battery,  on the other hand I have never heard anyone complain that they had too much life in their house batteries.
