Marine Pro 680 (NS70M MF) 680 CCA | 880 MCA | 75 AH For boats with engines up to 150hp Power for engine starting, semi-cycling & basic electrics Platelock™ technology for superior vibration resistance

Marine Pro 780 (N70ZM MF) 780 CCA | 1000 MCA | 100 AH For boats with engines up to 350hp Power for engine starting, semi-cycling & basic electrics Platelock™ technology for superior vibration resistance

Marine Pro Cruiser N150M / N200M 1200 CCA | 1440 MCA | 200 AH (N200M) For larger vessels with engines up to 350hp+ Power for engine starting, semi-cycling & basic electrics Platelock™ technology for superior vibration resistance

Lifeline Batteries

Another highly regarded competitor in the marine battery community is Lifeline Batteries. These hybrid cranking/deep cycle batteries are unparalleled in safety, reliability and performance. Lifeline’s signature ultra low internal resistance ensures an incredible charging efficiency, making this a superior dual purpose battery for real starting and deep cycling requirements. Furthermore, another great advantage of Lifeline batteries is their highly regarded vibration-resistant structural design. This state-of-the-art design has made Lifeline batteries some of the safest batteries on the market, being the only off-the-shelf battery to pass stringent vibration requirements of the US Military services, rendering it ideal for all marine applications. Continuing, the high-tech sealed pressure relief safety valves enable the battery to operate in any orientation without leaking, making this an ideal maintenance free marine battery.

Lifeline GPL-24T 550 CCA | 680 MCA | 80 AH Deep-cycling capabilities AGM technology Military grade quality

Lifeline GPL-27T 575 CCA | 715 MCA | 100 AH Deep-cycling capabilities AGM technology Military grade quality

Lifeline GPL-31T 600 CCA | 750 MCA | 105 AH Deep-cycling capabilities AGM technology Military grade quality

Optima BlueTop

Another legitimate contender for a great marine battery is Optima’s BlueTop range. The Optima BlueTop AGM is best suited for marine applications that require a maintenance free, but also, a high cranking power battery. The BlueTop’s superior quality build and design provides a safe sturdy frame, giving the BlueTop a spill-proof design and vibration resistance up to 15 times more than standard marine batteries. An imperative feature for providing the care-free boating experience you desire.
