The Trojan J305E-AC is a 6 volt flooded lead acid deep cycle battery. It is rated 305 Ah at the 20-hour rate, and marine and boating is one of its listed applications. It weighs 83 lb and has braided rope handles for carrying. Self-discharge is given as 5 to 15 percent a month, a HydroLink single-point watering system is available, and the terminal is the embedded universal type.
Our take
The J305E-AC is rated 305 Ah at the 20-hour rate on 6 volts, and at 83 lb the braided rope handles matter when lifting it into place. Trojan lists marine and boating among its uses, and a single-point watering system is an available option.
From our buying guide
A starting battery delivers a short burst of strong power, a deep-cycle battery a low, steady level for longer, and a dual-purpose battery a balance of the two. Buy for the job it will do.
Check before you buy:
- You've measured the tray against the maker's real dimensions, since a BCI group gives maximum sizes and some batteries sold as a drop-in run longer.
- You're comparing the same rating. Cold cranking amps are tested at 0°F and cranking amps at 32°F, so the second number is higher.
- If it's lithium, the maker says whether it may start an engine, and NMMA advises contacting your boat's manufacturer or a certified technician before replacing lead-acid.
