This switch allows you to use one battery over another for running your boat, while another battery may run electronics while the boat is not running.
Some battery switches have an area that says both. It is important to keep in mind that both does not necessarily mean you are working both batteries equally. The way your alternator is designed is to recharge a battery. If you have your boat battery switch set for both, your alternator will choose less work and simply keep a charge going to the fullest battery. In the end, choosing both could still leave you yelling for help…. It may seem like a strange concept that if you simply set it to pull from one battery to the other you will add battery life, but it is true.
You simply need to learn how to use the battery switch properly, which means trading off your battery usage. Consider for a moment what happens if a battery sits too long without charging. Batteries are made with materials inside of them that will hold a charge, such as lead sulfate or battery acid.
When you leave a battery without a charge, eventually, the material inside will harden. As it hardens, it will become more difficult to charge and it will hold the charge for less amount of time.
If you have a switch in place on your boat and you swap from using one battery to the other on a regular basis, some people recommend basing it on odd or even days, one battery will never end up fully discharged.
This is great because batteries lose power every time that they are completely drained. This often leaves people searching for a marine battery charger. If your boat does not have a switch in place, but you feel that you are running too many gadgets on your single battery or consistently find yourself replacing batteries that no longer stay charged; it may be time to have a switch put into place.
Doing so will save you a lot of trouble, money, and preserve your sanity. Below are a few options of some of the most popular boat battery switches available.
