Aqua Marine's maintenance-free Squadron
01 Oct 2004
Larger boats will require separate batteries for an electric windlass, winches or even an inverter, they say.
The comprehensive Squadron battery range includes: SFL (sealed for life) - sealed, flooded lead acid batteries that never need topping up and can last twice as long as a conventional battery.
AGM (absorbed glass mat) are sealed lead acid batteries giving high starting performance and deep cycling capability. They last three times as long as a conventional battery.
GEL - similar to AGM except that an immobilised electrolyte is used. The thicker plates are also more tolerant to deep cycling.
Lasts four times as long as a conventional battery.
Aqua Marine says being maintenance free all the above are ideally suited for marine use.
Amp/hour ratings cover from 85AH to 260AH and have ISO 9002 accreditation. Maxi-mum MCA (marine cranking amps) rating is 600A for the 85AH SFL battery (shown here) and up to 1800A for the largest AGM battery.
