Clearly didnt read the instructions. Its not advisable to use the wing nut studs for starting cable

Great info Sean, thankyou - is it still true (or has it ever been true) that you shouldn't store lead acid batteries on concrete floors? I always stored mine off the ground (even on a piece of 2x4 if I didn't have a shelf) but someone told me recently that you don't have to do that anymore. Would be great to hear the answer from the horse's mouth!

thank You For Sharing ❤

You can select out of vehicle. The only differences just test the battery directly without going through the alternator and starter steps.

Thanks sean just bought one and this video was perfect, vid taught me everything I needed to know. Was good to see a familiar face from motoringbox

Appalling sound

What tips?

Its good to c we still make batterys by someone a job

Please help me jobs I’m from India but live in Saudi Arabia and I’m 7 years work experience

I have a discharged failed AGM battery that was sitting on the shelf for a couple of years because I keep forgetting to take it in to be recycled and it dried out, cracked itself open like an egg and spilled its white powdery innards out the bottom.

thanks!

I'm an Interstate Battery manager and i understand you point. I offend tell people that your battery could potentially last longer if ypu buy a more expensive battery. I dont make any money for making a more expensive susgestion.

That's funny, my "4x4" as you put it, sees much harsher roads and vibrations than my boat, which floats on cushy water, will ever see. So that doesn't make any sense. And I keep hearing that a "marine" battery not only starts the engine, but then has to "run onboard accessories." You mean like a car does? Aren't there "onboard" accessories in a car that are used after starting? Of course there is! And the engine ALTERNATOR powers those things, just like on a boat! The only agreeable content here, is the fact that deep cycle batteries hold a charge longer, enabling them to power something WHEN THE ENGINE ALTERNATOR ISNT RUNNING. Don't feel bad, 90% of the videos about boat vs car batteries are unclear like this one. Bottom line: boat batteries hold a charge longer, for running, say, a depth finder, or trolling motor, when the boat's engine alternator isn't running. Otherwise, the alternator powers things when running, just like a car.

Can this be use under bonnet?

Even thi the batteries are Australian made Is Century Batteries an Australian owned company?

Thanks guys good info Love the nz accent 😳

It is wonderful to see someone who can put 20 minutes worth of information into just a few moments of video time.

Do you need to ground the negative when charging with the battery installed to prevent risk?

Im confused is the marine pro 680 an agm battery or an old school flood battery? Please dear god just answer the question

Why is he wearing gloves

I have the 1212XLI charger, which is 1-8-12 amp charger. My batter is 640cca (64AH), is 8 amp safe to use, and is slightly over 10%?

how are you supposed to not overcharge them if its connected to an alternator

I will like to be one of you guys

I want to know it more

here in UK the higher CCA the better

Please give Sean a payrise. I love his content.

I dispute the argument that Lithium ion phosphate batteries are better, firstly most Chinese lithium ion phosphate batteries have about 40% less amp hour reserve in their cells than they actually are stated to have, so a 100 amp hour Chinese made lithium ion phosphate battery that claims to be a 100 amp hour battery is most probably only 55-60 amp hour, and the last 10 amp hours are not generally usable since appliances such as refrigerators need constant 14-12 volts minimum just to run the last 10 amp hours won't be at 12 volts so your fridge won't run. And another big problem that places such as Adventure Kings WILL NEVER TELL you is that high amp/wattage draw appliances such as electric stoves toasters hair dryers that run on pure sine wave inverters say between 1500-3000 watts should never ever be powered by lithium ion batteries since they are not designed to be rapidly discharged, rapidly discharging and recharging a lithium ion battery will dramatically shorten their lives. In fact AGM deep cycle lead acid floated batteries have no issues with this, a well maintained AGM battery can last more than 10 years, providing you have the maximum amount of watts for the solar controller charge. Another problem with lithium ion batteries is the fact that they can explode injuring or even killing you and your children, the issue is the unstable and unpredictable nature of lithium and although lithium ion phosphate chemistry is better than the older versions of lithium ion batteries, make no mistake you run a risk that many academics with a masters degree in chemistry will tell you is unacceptable. Lithium ion batteries are also very expensive given that very good AGM batteries that can go for more than 2000 cycles for just $200 are out there albeit they are much heavier and usually larger than lithium ion phosphate batteries. And last but not least sodium ion batteries are now slowly coming online, they will.make lithium ion batteries defunct, firstly they are much cheaper to manufacture and easier to ship as they are Innert and inheritantly safe, the pose no risk whatsoever and they will be cheap. The choice is yours. Do your homework, if you go for lithium make sure that it is from a reputable company that certifies its storage amps and performance.

Can I use this to also jumpstart my car? Obviously with the battery still in the car connected to the charger can I start the car?

These sound good Just looked on your web site but could not see if these are rated for under bonnet use as a secondary battery to run as deep cycle for fridge and camping power. Hooked up via Redarc BCDC1225D

How much less does it cost than an AGM or Gel battery?

Century Ultra Hi Performance 4WD Battery NS70LX MF can this battery be used to run a 12v fridge for a night of camping?

What about CCA

Can these batteries be used in boats

The calcium light and the 12amp light flash together. What does this mean please.

Can I use these as a starter battery?

Is my battery connected with UPS is leaking for the same reason? Its not a dry battery. Yesterday I top up the water in it and today water is coming out from the hole of caps. Why??

In real life, you don't get 300x"100Ah" cycles with %100discharge. The rated capacity drops drastically after a few full discharges and the damage is permanent. The mathematics isn't simple as it's in this video. So, don't discharge more than %50 unless it's an emergency.

0:26 this man knows what he's doing

Here because of Sean and a long time user of Century 👍

This bloke is a natural. He should start his own UA-cam channel.

great review just a couple of quetions i have a new century( 780 RRO) what should it say fully charged safely *** can i fully charge my spare its reading 11.4 ty ( SYDNEY AUSTRALIA )

What type of lead acid is the marine pro680? Flooded, gel or AGM?

My battery leaked while overcharging. Can i still use it or do I need a new one?

What battery charging profile is best - gel, AGM, wet, cal? There is nothing in the vid or website specs that provide this information.

Uhm, wait a minute. There are plenty of cases where a deep cycle battery is being used in a vehicle, from pick-up trucks, wreckers, RV's, Tractor/Trailers etc. They last for years in those conditions. Heck, we used them to run a winch on a trailer, and that battery would be either mounted in the bed of the truck or on the tongue of the trailer. Again, lasted for years. Also have used them in a Jeep and other off road rigs to run winches and accessories and even starting the vehicles. This just sounds like you are trying to sell more batteries.

Been using car batteries on my boat last 10 yrs, no issues and I fish offshore where water get rough.

What percentage of the Century battery range are made in Australia? Ie. 20%, 50%, 80% made in Australia? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Batteries is not a human being. If it is properly design and high quality material, it would not make a bit of difference on the operating condition since both auto and marine can be hot/cold or have lots of vibration. When you talk about deep cycle vs dual, that’s a different story. A design usage story.

A little expensive.
