Batteries… Yam 195s

But for the FLA is 10A too much?
Was looking at the NOCO genius pro 10x1 since I’m @ the single battery route.
That is the battery I plan on trying to get (24M-AGM-A). Specifically for the no maintenance and extra AH. The SRM-24 doesn’t have an AH rating and per calculations would be about 56AH, if I were to replace it I would just want to make sure I got more AH out of it and maintained a comparable CCA, which the 24M-AGM-A, accomplishes and also the same group size battery. (Odyssey battery doesn’t really meet those specs so I scratched that one, keep ending up on interstate batteries).

@FSH 210 Sport Shunt is installed, haven’t turned any accessories on yet but have the app connected, so that’s why I brought up seeing 15v. After hooking up my “charger” which I have learned is only a “maintainer” it showed that momentarily until it was “charged”. Dropping back to 12.9v.

10 A charger is fine see previous post

Schumacher is a great product! By the way.

15 V momentarily is normal during flooded lead acid battery charging, typically pulsing to that level to help clean the plates.

Right along the lines of what I’ve read.
Have had this maintainer for like 7 years so yea it’s great but have only used it for my power sports batteries/jet skis I used to have.
I’ll go ahead and pull the trigger on the 10A charger.
Going to go fishing here within the next week so will get some good test results and post it. Planning on running at least half a tank.

The anti gravity battery monitor only monitors voltage, great for a vehicle with no volt meter but our boats connext screen shows voltage.

Was not comparing it to a Smart Shunt, for me the Anti Gravity gives me what I need as I can view on my phone the charge state, irregular starts, and a graph of the voltage over time.

I also have one on my Ranger UTV since it also has a AGM battery

I am happy with what the Anti Gravity provides for the cost and how simple it is to install

So did a quick search.. the odyssey battery has 63 Ah capacity, price? $413

Performance Battery Specifications

Get the specifications for ODYSSEY® marine dual purpose batteries in our Extreme Series and Performance Series categories. They deliver more power and longer service life than conventional batteries.

Interstate flooded 81 ah, price? $159

SRM-24 battery | Interstate Batteries

Save your money and just buy the flooded lead acid battery and get more Ah of capacity.

Here are the ODX-AGM24M specifications

I would suggest that you put that battery in a battery box with a lid. That will contain any acid and prevent any incidental contact with the battery, any acid and its energized contact points with conductive materials.

It’s hard for me to tell, but it looks like there is a recess in the structure for the battery to sit in. My boat came with a recess for two group 24 batteries, I ended up bridging that recess with a cut down piece of HDPE aka slippery white shit, aka cutting board I bought at Sam’s Club. I secured the bridge with stainless steel wood screws and put 3M 5200 in the screw holes in the boat to keep the screws from coming loose and bedded them to the bridge to prevent any water from getting down along the threads. I don’t know of any type of glue that will stick to HDPE ( high density poly ethylene).

Post #43 here Conversion to LiFePo batteries



You’ve got a fair amount of room in that compartment and should be able to get two group 24 size batteries in there if that’s what you end up wanting to do. If I’m seeing it correctly, you may be able to put up a piece of HDPE along the left side over the top of your fuel fill line and vapor canister to mount your battery switch that I see is mounted back in that area. This will proved a clean vertical mounting surface to mount your battery switch, smart shunt, battery buss bars, battery charger and amp fuse and the rest of the conductors on to free up space in that compartment. It’ll be a bit of a job but any real estate in a boat is a valuable commodity. @HangOutdoors did a great job with mounting his blue seas ACR, fuse block and wiring to if memory serves. You will want to mount the onboard charger in the front of the compartment so that when charging batteries you can open the hatch to dissipate the heat coming off of the charger and allow any hydrogen gas coming off of the .batteries to escape. You can also mount the charger in a different compartment if need be and extend the leads.

Another thing to consider is how the weight of a second battery in that compartment is going to affect the balance of your boat. These boats can be sensitive to weight distribution which will affect how well the boat goes straight whilst underway, too much weight on the port side and the boat will want to go to the right and you’ll have to hold left turn pressure on the wheel to keep it going straight, not only is that annoying it will cost you some top speed. Next time you’re out if you’ve got people with you, move them around on the boat while underway so you can see for yourself how that weight shift affects handling.

@Leojay aka Capt Leon did a great video on his YouTube channel about all the fun gear he puts in his 19’ boat, an amazing amount of storage in these 19’ boats.

I actually don’t have that same room for my boat. The battery compartment recess will only barely allow for 12” of length.

I’ve had my Group 34 Odyssey Extreme battery hooked up to a Noco Genius 10 smart charger over the winter the past two seasons and the combo has worked great together.
