When you’re out on the water, performance, reliability and peace of mind matter more than ever. Whether you’re running a commercial vessel, a leisure craft, or a support boat, having the right power source onboard is essential. That’s why deep cycle batteries have become the go-to choice for the marine industry which can’t afford to compromise.
Built for life at sea
Unlike traditional starter batteries designed for short bursts of high power, deep cycle batteries are engineered to deliver sustained energy over longer periods – and to do it reliably, cycle after cycle. That makes them ideal for powering vital onboard systems like lighting, communications, pumps, navigation equipment and fridges.
Marine environments are demanding. Power systems need to handle vibration, movement, varying load requirements and extended use. Deep cycle batteries offer the durability and stability to cope.
Red Flash™ – trusted power offshore
Our Red Flash™ deep cycle batteries have been developed with this in mind. Using Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) technology, they deliver dependable performance in the harshest conditions – including offshore and coastal use.
The benefits speak for themselves:
Reliable deep cycling for long-running applications
Superior cranking performance thanks to low internal resistance
Maintenance-free sealed design – no mess, no fuss
Strong vibration resistance – perfect for marine and mobile use
Longer service life – reducing the need for frequent replacements
It’s a smart, reliable solution for any marine application where consistent performance and safety are essential.
Real-world performance
We’ve supplied Red Flash™ deep cycle solutions across a wide range of marine projects – from private sailing vessels to commercial marine fleets. And we know that when the weather turns or the demands increase, a reliable battery isn’t just helpful – it’s critical.
That’s why we build power systems you can depend on, wherever your next voyage takes you.
