Longer Deep Cycle Life More Operating/Trolling Time Faster Recharge/Longer Life Ideal for Remote Locations

DOMINATOR gel batteries offer many significant advantages over conventional liquid acid batteries. Because there is no liquid electrolyte to leak or spill out of the battery, the DOMINATOR can easily be installed in hard-to-reach locations. There is no need to check fluid levels. The DOMINATORS gelled construction also eliminates vibration damage to plates. The DOMINATOR even works under water!

Great for reliable starting

GEL MARINE/RV BATTERIES

NON-SPILLABLE by DOT (Department of Transportation),

ICAO (International Commercial Airline Organization) and IATA (International Airline Transport Association) definitions. The Dominator vs. Conventional Liquid Acid Batteries
Deka introduces a marine battery second to none. The Dominator contains electrolyte that is permanently locked in a thixotropic gel, instead of conventional and messy liquid acid. Our gelled electrolyte batteries offer many significant advantages over conventional liquid acid batteries. Because there is no liquid electrolyte to leak or spill out of the battery, the Dominator can be easily installed in hard-to-reach locations. Because it has gelled electrolyte, there is no need to check fluid levels. The Dominators gelled construction also eliminates vibration damage to plates. The Dominator even works under water.

All batteries manufactured in polypropylene cases and covers except where noted. IMPORTANT CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS: WARRANTY VOID IF OPENED OR IMPROPERLY CHARGED. Do not install in a sealed container. Constant under or overcharging will damage any battery and shorten its life! Use a good constant potential, voltage-regulated charger. For 12-volt batteries, charge to at least 13.8 volts but no more than 14.1 volts at 68F (20C). For 6-volt batteries, charge to at least 6.9 volts but no more than 7.05 volts at 68F (20C). The open circuit voltage of a fully charged 12-volt battery is 12.8V at 68F (20C). However, as the battery charges, the building internal pressure (voltage) causes resistance to the charge. Therefore, the on-charge voltage must be higher (at least 13.8V) to overcome this internal pressure (voltage) during charging.
