Deep Cycle Marine Battery

 

odyssey 31m pc2150 1mLead acid marine and automotive batteries are very important piece of equipment, regardless if you have small boat that can be pulled out on dry land by hands, large vessel suitable for long off-shore fishing trips, a city car with internal combusiton engine, or you have large 4x4 SUV/truck for outdoors adventures.

Today, there are several battery types that are commonly used like Lead Acid batteries, Nickel Cadmium batteries, Nickel Metal Hydride batteries, Lithium batteries etc.

Non-lead acid battery types do have their advantages, but so do the lead acid batteries and they are still the most used marine/automotive battery type.

Top 10 Best Quiet Portable Generators

quiet portable generator mPortable power generators are small and compact power generators which convert chemical energy of the fuel into the electric energy using small internal combustion engines. Internal combustion engines can be rather noisy, which is main concern of future owners.

But, thanks to the advanced mufflers' designs, sound insulation and new designs, portable generators can be almost 'whisper quiet', especially at lower power settings. And since they rely on chemical energy of the fuel (gas, propane, diesel), they can operate day and night, unlike solar and wind generators that depend on the sun or wind.
