This document provides information about selecting the right battery for boats, motorcycles, and RVs. It discusses factors like starting power needs, deep cycle needs, and battery types. Flooded lead acid batteries are most common but AGM batteries provide advantages like being spill-proof and resistant to vibration. The document recommends using dual-purpose batteries for boats with many accessories or larger motors. RVs often use separate starting and house batteries. Motorcycles generally use sealed AGM batteries. It provides details on X2 Power AGM batteries and their benefits like being spill-proof, pure lead construction, and warranties of 3-4 years.
2. Starting power – moderate or heavy?
Moderate – motors of 100 horsepower or less
Heavy – motors greater than 100 horsepower
3. Deep Cycle needs – none, moderate or heavy?
Moderate – radio, sonar, fish locator,
running lights, 2 volt lights, etc.)
Heavy – trolling motor, refrigerator,portable
TVs, inverters, multiple low drain devices, etc.)
Note: Applications that contain multiple heavy drain devices will likely
need multiple batteries
4. Flooded (or wet battery) – Most common lead acid
battery. Comes in a variety of sizes and designs. Basic
marine battery that often comes with a 12-month
warranty
AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) – Uses a fiberglass-like
separator to hold electrolyte in place. AGM batteries
are bounce and vibration and resistant. More
advanced than flooded - often come with a 24-month
or 48-month warranty.

X* - Those applications that require BOTH heavy starting and heavy deep cycle needs would require BOTH a starting
battery and deep cycle battery.
6. Marine - If you have a smaller boat, with minimal applications, you
may be able to use just one Starting battery. However, if you have
many accessories, or a larger motor, you should consider a Dual
Purpose battery. For any size boat, with heavy deep cycle needs, you
should always consider using a Deep Cycle Battery
RV – Because of the nature of running multiple applications, RVs
often use two batteries – a Starting (or Chassis Battery) and a Deep
Cycle (or House Battery) used to operate the many electrical devices
on board.
Motorcycle – Due to extreme vibration and the desire to avoid
spilling electrolyte fluid onto a bike, most motorcycles use dry AGM
batteries as opposed to wet flooded batteries.
7. Key Features of X2 Power AGM Marine Batteries:
USA manufactured
Advanced AGM (absorbed glass mat) construction – sealed,
no need to add water
Spill-proof design – can be installed in any orientation
except inverted
Low internal resistance – provides for very high discharge
and recharging rates
Advanced 3-stage terminal design ensures leak-free operation
Brass terminals provide maximum performance
Housed in advanced engineered plastics – to withstand
vibration and heat from tough applications
Pure virgin lead for longer shelf life, longer service life and a
higher-rate of efficiency
Advanced manufacturing facility – employing state of the art
environmental control systems
Limited 3 and 4 year full replacement warranty
Approved as non-hazardous cargo for ground, sea and air
transport DOT 49CFR173.159(d), (i) and (ii) Boat owners demand two things from their on board power:
Is the only retail source for Xtreme flooded and X2
Power AGM batteries – they are all store activated,
meaning they are totally ―fresh‖ when they are placed
on the store’s shelves.
1. Sure starts every time to get back to shore
2. Adequate power to run trolling motors and all other on-board
accessories
X2Power Does the Job of Two Batteries: both a starting and dual
cycle
X2Power batteries’ pure lead dual purpose design has the high
cranking power needed to start boat motors and the cycling
capabilities for running trolling motors and on-board accessories
such as depth finders, fish finders, radios, radar, lights and
coolers.
One X2Power battery does the job of separate starting and deep
cycle batteries.
8. The X2 Power™ Sealed AGM product line raises the standard for performance in even the most extreme
conditions. Xtreme X2 batteries are constructed with pure calcium lead plates providing increased
cranking power and a longer life.
X2 Power Sealed AGM batteries are sealed for increased convenience and safety. The sealed design is
maintenance free and eliminates leakage. They also feature superior vibration resistance and extreme
temperature tolerance
Battery Features:
• Maintenance free—sealed design eliminates leakage & need for
maintenance.
• Lasts longer—superior vibration resistance & extreme temperature
tolerance.
• Easy to install—top or front mounted with threaded terminals.
• Compatible with any power sport charger.
• Thin plate design creates high reserve capacity to run more accessories.
• Sustains charge in storage. Pure calcium lead plates self discharge
slower, lasting up to one year on an open circuit.
• High performance—pure calcium lead plates offer increased
cranking power & longer life.
