Your Marine Hot Water Heaters Suppliers Give Needed Tips When Switching to a Multiple Battery System<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Raritan Engineering your marine hot water heaters<\/a> experts would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding amazing suggestions to keep in mind when using a multiple battery system. <\/p>\n

\n

Your marine hot water heaters professionals talk about how a multiple-battery system’s best attribute may be the ability to provide engine starting should one battery short out, experience a wiring failure or simply get drained. <\/p>\n

Battery Type<\/strong><\/p>\n

The charging characteristics vary between battery types: absorbed glass mat (AGM), flooded cell and gel cell. Integration with engines, chargers and other components is easier if all batteries are the same type.<\/p>\n

Battery Class<\/strong><\/p>\n

For most boaters, a pair of dual-purpose batteries serves as a good foundation. A ­starting battery and a deep-cycle battery, or bank of batteries, might serve a bass fisherman, or other boater with high accessory demands, better.<\/p>\n

Battery Capacity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ensure sufficient starting amperage by checking your engine’s owner’s manual for the appropriate capacity. Selecting the deep-cycle battery’s — or bank’s — size is more ­involved. <\/p>\n

Manual Switching<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manual switches are reliable but require you to remember to manually switch between batteries (or banks) in order to keep all batteries charged.<\/p>\n

Automatic Switching<\/strong><\/p>\n

Voltage sensitive relays (VSR), and other devices, sense when a battery needs a charge and direct charging current from the alternator ­automatically. These can be built into the engine or may be a separate component. <\/p>\n

Cables<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cable diameter is directly related to a dual-battery system’s performance. There are formulas you can reference for determining the size of cable based on the amperage it must carry and over what distance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Starting batteries deliver high amperage for quick engine starts but do not tolerate being used to power equipment. Deep-cycle batteries can be drawn down without damage to power equipment but may not provide enough amperage in a burst to start the engine. <\/p>\n

How to Install a Marine Dual-Battery System<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

If you have a boat with just one battery, it’s wise to add another, giving you twice as much battery capacity in case, for instance, you inadvertently drain a battery with the stereo while the engine is off. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Choose a Switch<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Make sure the selector switch is designed for two batteries (some are on\/off switches) and will handle the amperage when starting the engine. A rating of 250 amps continuous is sufficient for most outboards and gasoline inboards. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2. Install the Second Battery<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Choose a marine battery that meets the engine specs. Installation should comply with Coast Guard and ABYC standards. Wet-cell batteries should be secured in a battery box. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
3. Pick a Location for the Switch<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

Selector switches have a four- to-six-inch-wide footprint, so pick a surface where you have enough space. ABYC standards dictate that the switch be as close to the batteries as possible and readily accessible. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

4. Connect the Positive Cables<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Cables should have “marine cable” stamped on the insulation. Size 2\/0 cable handles most outboards and gasoline inboards. Connect the positive terminals of batteries 1 and 2 to the corresponding posts on the back of the switch, and then connect the positive cable from the engine to the output post of the switch. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

5. Connect the Negative Crossover<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

In order for the dual-battery system to operate properly, you need a crossover cable between the negative terminals of the two batteries. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Woman caught in Williamson Co. hiding 41 lbs. of meth in boat batteries<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
\n
\n

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — Deputies arrested a woman during a traffic stop they say had 41 pounds of meth hidden inside batteries made for boats or jet skis.<\/p>\n

Verdiguel told them she was on her way from Laredo to Dallas for real estate classes, but they became suspicious of her after she acted nervously.<\/p>\n

After giving them permission to search her car, deputies found the batteries full of meth inside a toolbox in the back of her pickup.<\/p>\n

Officers pulled her over near I-35 and 51st Street last Wednesday and found the drugs hidden in three jugs of degreaser. APD says Ayala faces federal drug trafficking charges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

So don’t forget these helpful tips when using a multiple battery system. 1) The charging characteristics vary between battery types;  2) for most boaters, a pair of dual-purpose batteries serves as a good foundation;  and 3) ensure sufficient starting amperage by checking your engine’s owner’s manual for the appropriate capacity.<\/p>\n
