STARTING SERIES

DEEP CYCLE SERIES

DUAL PURPOSE CYCLING/ STARTING SERIES

In the starting mode, a gas or diesel marine engine (inboard, outboard or auxiliary type) places a demand for high amperage, or starting current, to "crank the engine" up to starting RPM. This high starting current must be delivered quickly and for as long as thirty seconds at a time, month after month after month. Otherwise, the engine cranks too slowly and may not start at all... especially if the battery has been sitting for long periods, is extremely hot, or has been drained by an auxiliary load, or the engine is in an untuned condition. In any event, you can't start. All you can do is float.

Deep cycle service means that the battery bank is called upon to deliver power for auxiliary loads such as house power, trolling motors, auxiliary equipment, communications and many other types of electronic equipment typical of marine applications. In contrast to the quick surge of power that is required for starting, deep cycle batteries are called upon to deliver smaller amounts of current over long periods of hours or days, rather than seconds.

While Deka deep cycle batteries can deliver plenty of starting power, they are specifically designed to withstand the special rigors of long, deep discharges and long, slow recharges. These super deep discharges and recharges can literally tear ordinary batteries apart from the inside. Sitting in a discharged condition causes the battery to corrode on the inside, just like iron rusts and corrodes in the salt air. If not recharged promptly and properly, the plates in a battery can disintegrate and fall apart in short order.

The Deka Marine Master Deep Cycle series is specifically designed to withstand the harsh environment. Deka batteries may cost more than other so-called "deep cycle" batteries... but they deliver so more. We have designed and built our batteries especially for the severity of deep cycle service. Others simply take car batteries and put a deep cycle label on them. No wonder they are so cheap. With Deka, you get what you pay for.

The Deka Marine Master Dual Purpose Cycling / Starting series was designed especially for the user that requires reliable starting and moderate deep cycle service. This series has all of the quality you've come to expect from Deka... and fits perfectly between the starting and heavy-duty, deep cycling batteries. It is ideal for marine applications that require heavy-duty starting and moderate duty cycling service. Use it for your larger, harder-starting engines and /or moderate duty trolling or accessory loads. The Deka Dual Purpose is an ideal compromise between the unique demands of starting service and deep cycling, low amp draw service.

FEATURES:

• Exclusive special dual alloy, full frame grids and plates
• Deep pocket envelope plate separators
• Exclusive high density plate paste
• Exclusive demineralized electrolyte (acid)
• Exclusive power path grid design
• Exclusive "molded-in" stainless steel dual top terminals with wing nuts
• Vibration resistant design
• 250 quality control checks
• Made with pride in the U.S.A.

BENEFITS:

• Full frame design won't short circuit like others with jagged-edged grids and plates
• Helps prevent life shortening internal short circuits
• Delivers more power per pound of battery
• Reduces water loss - extends life
• Directs more energy to terminal posts for maximum power per pound
• Leakproof design keeps connections corrsoion-free - makes installation easy
• Extends life in "wave pounding" marine applications
• For maximum performance and life
• Your assurance of the highest quality

Commercial service places especially harsh demands on batteries. Typically, batteries are wired together in banks of two or more, and are required to start one or more diesel engines and meet extensive auxiliary power requirements. Then we expect them to withstand pounding vibration, harsh temperature extremes and corrosive saltwater environments.

Only Deka Marine Master Heavy Duty Commercial Batteries, designed specifically for this type of service, can stand up to this abuse.

The Deka Marine Master Commercial series gives you the widest selection of the highest quality batteries, with features unmatched by anyone in the industry.

• Thickest heavy-duty full frame grids and plates
• Computer controlled plate paste
• Deep pocket envelope plate separators in most popular sizes
• Special fiberglass mat plate wrap (on select types)
• Vibration resistant design
• Heavy-duty polypropylene container and cover
• Special heavy-duty internal construction
• 250 quality control checks
• Made with pride in the U.S.A.

• Withstand the corrosive environment inside the battery - delivers longer life!
• Delivers more power per pound of battery
• Protect from internal short circuits, for longer life
• Glass fibers embed themselves into surface of plate to act as reinforcement against plate shedding for longer life
• For longest life and reliability
• Withstand pounding vibration and abuse
• Withstand the rigors of commercial service - extends life and reliability
• Assures best performance, longest life
• Assures peace of mind and warranty protection

For years, Deka Dominator, known simply as "the grey battery," has set the standard for performance and quality for gel batteries. This tradition continues as Deka Dominator teams up with Deka Marine Master to give the discriminating marine battery buyer and system designer the widest choice of the highest quality marine batteries available... anywhere!

Dominator gel batteries offer many significant advantages over conventional liquid acid batteries. Because there is no liquid electrolyte to leak or spill out of the battery, the Dominator can be easily installed in hard-to-reach locations. Even if the Dominator is left discharged for thirty days, it will still come up to 100% of capacity, unlike conventional flooded batteries. Because it has gelled electrolyte, it cannot sulfate like a liquid acid battery, and since there is no liquid, there is no need to check fluid levels. The Dominator's gelled construction also eliminates vibration damage to plates, a common problem with flooded batteries. The Dominator even works under water!

• 100% maintenance free
• Ideal for engine starting and / or trolling
• Faster recharging
• Thick consistency of gelled electrolyte and tight-pack construction
• Longer operating / trolling time
• Compu-cast, power-path grids and computer-controlled oxide
• Sealed, recombinant construction with gelled electrolyte
• Self-discharge rate of less than 1% per month (at 68 F)
• Resists damaging over discharges
• Easy install
• Broad line of sizes and types
• 250 quality control checks
• Made with pride in the U.S.A.

• No need to check fluid levels
• Great multi-purpose battery
• For quicker turnaround time
• Eleminate the damaging effects of vibration
• Runs longer than comparable wet batteries
• For maximum durability, power and life
• Eliminates dangerous spills, gasses and terminal corrosion (unless severely overcharged)
• Recharges to full power, even if left discharged for weeks
• Convenient hard-to-reach connection and hook-up
