WHAT IS A LONG-TERM DISCHARGE BATTERY?
ELECTRICITY TO GO FOR HOBBY AND LEISURE.
A long-term discharge battery in the hobby/leisure sector is required to supply a much lower current for the on-board power supply and a large number of electrical or electronic consumers over a longer period of time, and it is also discharged and recharged several times.
This means that the technology and components differ significantly from those of a conventional starter battery, so that the use of a car starter battery in a cyclical application can lead to premature battery wear and even total failure of the battery in the first few months of operation.
Banner tip: With its solid cold start values, the Energy Bull DUAL POWER can of course now also be recommended as a starter battery primarily for use in motorboats and motor yachts - almost always in spring to autumn operation. It is best to continue using a starter battery such as the Running Bull EFB-PRO/AGM or the Power Bull for engine starting, especially in motorhomes for winter camping. The Energy Bull DUAL POWER is then used as an on-board power supply battery in a dual battery system.
The long-term discharge battery performs various tasks:
- Even before the starting process, some components are supplied with voltage (injection system, various control units, pre-glow system, ignition coil, ...).
- The starter (starter motor) can be supplied with the power required to start the engine - this is why the Energy Bull was designed as a DUAL POWER battery.
- Power supply for many electrical consumers for sailing and electric boats, yachts, motorhomes and caravans, camping/caravans and the solar sector.
- The long-term discharge battery is comparable to a marathon runner in the sports sector, solid starting performance combined with long-term power for the power supply of many additional electrical consumers.
- In a dual battery system, a starter battery can also be combined with one or more special additional long-term discharge battery(ies).
- TIP! Banner batteries from the Energy Bull DUAL POWER series are ideal for this application.
- Please note: Do not use Energy Bull DUAL POWER batteries in vehicles with automatic start-stop systems!
