The Trojan SCS225 is a 12 volt flooded lead acid deep cycle battery, and marine and boating is one of its listed applications. It is rated 130 Ah at the 20-hour rate and weighs 66 lb. The case is 13.94 inches long and the terminal is the dual wingnut type. Self-discharge is given as 5 to 15 percent a month, and a HydroLink single-point watering system is available.
Our take
The SCS225 is a 12 volt flooded battery rated 130 Ah at the 20-hour rate, and Trojan lists marine and boating among its uses. A single-point watering system is available, which would let the cells be filled from one point.
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.
