Choosing the Right Battery

Choosing the Right Battery for Your Vehicle

Match your battery to your vehicle for best performance and lifespan.

Automotive & Light Trucks

  • Everyday Drivers: Standard flooded or AGM batteries work well. AGM is best for start-stop systems, electronics, and weather extremes.
  • Luxury/Performance Vehicles: AGM recommended for high power, vibration resistance, and onboard tech.

Commercial & Heavy-Duty

  • Work Trucks, Big Rigs, Fleets: Built for high vibration and long run times. Look for deep-cycle capable AGM or premium flooded batteries.

Marine & RV

  • Boats: Use starting batteries for engine bursts; deep-cycle batteries for trolling motors and electronics. AGM resists vibration/moisture.
  • RVs & Campers: Choose deep-cycle or dual-purpose batteries. AGM supports longer off-grid use with low maintenance.

Powersports

  • Motorcycles, ATVs, Snowmobiles, Jet Skis: AGM factory-activated powersports batteries come ready to install—no measuring, filling, or charging required. They offer superior vibration resistance, certified non-spillable design for any-angle installation, and high performance across a wide range of temperatures.
