    AGM Battery for everyday use

    Does anyone use one of these batteries for everyday use?
    They are rated as 100A/H & the specs say good for 1000 amp for 5 sec.
    The reason I ask is I have had one- 70 A/H in my boat for about a year now & it's been faultless.
    The 10 year aspect appeals to me.

    It says "deep cycle battery" they are not meant for cranking but for running fridges etc. I would say if you ran it as a starting battery its life would be pretty short.

    Thanx

    Hi DeeJay and as SouthOz posted, it’s only a deep cycle battery.

    The terminals as not designed for high current use, like cranking and the battery would need a CCA rating, yours does not have one.

    It is suited for supplying power for camping accessories, like lighting, compressor type fridges and small inverters and so on.
