If you're looking for high mobility batteries that can easily be used in material handling, recreational vehicles such as golf carts, and other applications, you should consider investing in a deep cycle battery. Want to learn more about these types of batteries? Then, keep reading for a look at the essentials.

​

What Is a Deep Cycle Battery?

​

A deep cycle battery is a battery that provides reliable power over a long time period, and typically they can work efficiently until about 80% or more of their life cycle has been discharged. In contrast, other batteries usually experience compromised functioning if they get discharged below the 45% mark.

​

What Are the Most Common Uses?

​

Although these batteries can be used in countless applications, they are ideal for mobile uses. These high mobility batteries are perfect for running golf carts, supporting marine applications, operating forklifts or other material handling equipment, powering recreational vehicles, and supporting multiple other uses.

​

What Are the Types?

​

Deep cycle batteries fall into two main categories, and they are flooded and sealed. With a flooded battery, you have to monitor its use and apply water on a regular basis. Otherwise, the battery will not work.

​

In contrast, if you opt for a sealed battery, you get to enjoy a maintenance-free ownership experience. Sometimes, these batteries are referred to as valve regulated lead-acid batteries, and although they don't need to be watered, they should still be inspected on a regular basis.

​

Why Is the Deep Cycle Right for You?

​

In both consumer and industrial environments, a deep cycle lets you use the battery for longer periods of time before you have to recharge the battery. This saves you time and boosts productivity. It also saves you money because you don't need to invest in as many batteries.
