It delivers 810 marine cranking amps\nand 650 cold cranking amps, which is enough current for most mid-size outboards, sterndrives,\nand inboards running out of the Lake Erie ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo numbers matter on a starting battery. Marine cranking amps (MCA) are measured at 32°F\nand tell you how the battery behaves at normal launch temperatures. Cold cranking amps (CCA)\nare measured at 0°F and tell you what's left after a boat has sat through an Ohio spring. At\n810 MCA and 650 CCA, the MAR-800 has margin on both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMarine Starting Battery vs. Deep Cycle: Get This One Right\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a starting battery, not a deep cycle. The plates are thin and closely spaced to\ndump a short, heavy burst of current, which is exactly wrong for slow, sustained loads.\nRunning a trolling motor, a fish finder, or an overnight house load off this battery will\nshorten its life fast. If that's your application, you want a deep cycle or a dual-purpose\nbattery instead. Call us with your setup and we'll tell you which one you actually need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and Terminal Position\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MAR-800 measures 12\" long by 6.8\" wide by 8.875\" tall and weighs 49 lbs, with the\n\u003cstrong\u003epositive terminal on the left\u003c\/strong\u003e. Measure your battery box and check which side\nyour positive cable comes from before you drive over. A reversed terminal layout is the most\ncommon reason a battery that should fit doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFlooded batteries want a clean, tight connection and a charging system that's doing its\njob. If your last battery died early, have the alternator and the ground strap looked at\nwhile you're replacing it. Boaters out of Mentor Harbor, Fairport, and Grand River put more\ncycles on a starting battery in a season than most people expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e810 MCA \/ 650 CCA for dependable starts in cold water and cold mornings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlooded lead acid construction, built to Crown's marine spec\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft positive terminal, standard marine post configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVibration-tolerant build for the pounding a hull transmits to the battery box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacked by a 3-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMAR-800\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMarine Cranking Amps (MCA)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e810\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCold Cranking Amps (CCA)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e650\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChemistry\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlooded lead acid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\" L × 6.8\" W × 8.875\" H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePositive Terminal\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMarine starting battery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty: 3 years.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it fails in normal service inside that window,\nbring it back and we'll make it right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLocal Pickup in Northeast Ohio\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable for pickup at our Willoughby shop, serving boaters across Lake County and the\nshoreline from Eastlake and Mentor out to Fairport Harbor, Grand River, and Madison.
