- Is this a deep cycle or a starting battery?
- It is a deep cycle battery, meant to power loads steadily over long periods. It is not the best choice for engine cranking.
- Can it be mounted on its side?
- As a sealed lead-acid battery it can be mounted in more positions than a flooded battery, but check the label for any restrictions before installing.
- What charger does it need?
- Use a 12V lead-acid charger with a deep-cycle or AGM-compatible setting. Avoid chargers meant only for lithium or for fast engine-battery charging.
- How long will it run a trolling motor?
- At about 21.4 Ah, expect modest runtime. A small motor at low speed may last a few hours; higher speeds drain it quickly.
- Is it better than a lithium battery?
- Lithium is lighter and lasts more cycles, but this lead-acid battery is simpler and works with common 12V chargers. Choose it for light, occasional use.
- Can I connect two in parallel for more capacity?
- Yes, wiring two identical 12V batteries in parallel doubles the amp-hours at the same voltage. Use matched batteries and correct fusing.
- Where is the Duracell Ultra 12V Deep Cycle Battery cheapest?
- At Batteries Plus, for $99.99, as of our latest check.
