The Exide Stowaway Marine MSDP24 Dual Purpose Battery delivers a reliable, high-performance power solution specifically engineered for boats utilising a single battery bank to handle both engine starting and accessory cycling. Built with premium Sealed Maintenance-Free (SMF) Calcium technology, this robust NS70 footprint marine battery features an Assembly D terminal configuration, throwing out a dependable 650 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) alongside an impressive 140-minute reserve capacity. By combining thicker plates, high-grade glass mat separators, and a specialised active material formula, it masterfully bridges the gap between raw cranking authority and cycling stamina to smoothly support onboard chartplotters, sounders, fridges, and lighting grids.
Perfect for boaters who demand:
- ✓ A true one-battery solution capable of firing up marine engines and maintaining house accessories
- ✓ Industrial-grade vibration resistance engineered to withstand rough chop and high-speed hull pounding
- ✓ Clean, hassle-free dual-terminal connection layout for streamlined, spark-free accessory wiring
Key Features & Benefits
No-Vibe Anchor Bonding
- • Internal plate structures are locked down using heavy-duty anchor bonding technology
- • Drastically reduces grid shedding and plate breakage caused by continuous water slap
- • Maximises overall service durability inside demanding marine hulls and off-grid configurations
Thick Plate Dual-Purpose Matrix
- • Outfitted with thicker lead-calcium plate grids and custom-blended active cell materials
- • Provides a stable 82 Ah baseline with a 140-minute reserve capacity for extended accessory load draws
- • Delivers excellent deep discharge cycling recovery without sacrificing reliable 650 CCA cranking punch
Glass Mat Separators
- • Premium glass mat layers hold the active plate paste strictly in place under intense cycling loads
- • Lowers internal electrical resistance to support swift, efficient alternator recharge delivery
- • Proactively isolates internal cell elements to prevent micro short circuits on the water
DST Marine Terminals
- • Dual Twin terminal layout features standard tapered automotive posts plus threaded accessory studs
- • Permits clean, isolated wiring connections for primary engine leads and auxiliary 12V busbars
- • Sealed Maintenance-Free design eliminates dangerous liquid acid spills or corrosive terminal outgassing
Advantages & Considerations
Advantages
- ✓ Highly efficient dual-purpose matrix layout simplifies complex multi-battery boat wiring
- ✓ Generous 24-month warranty coverage for domestic/private marine consumers
- ✓ Balanced 19.10 kg weight provides an easier handling layout than larger Group 27 or 31 blocks
- ✓ Fully sealed SMF lid keeps cells balanced with zero water topping-up required
Considerations
- • True dual-purpose compromise; not a dedicated ultra-deep traction cell for continuous high-draw electric trolling motors
- • Commercial usage paths adjust the total replacement warranty timeframe down to 18 months
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lifespan of this battery?
In classic seasonal marine configurations, this battery typically achieves an operational life of 3 to 5 years. Total life parameters are heavily dictated by the depth of overnight discharge cycles, proper offseason charging practices, and storage care protocols.
Is this battery maintenance-free?
Yes, it is entirely maintenance-free. The advanced Lead-Calcium grid layout keeps cell outgassing locked down, ensuring internal electrolyte fluids remain perfectly balanced over the service life without manual water top-ups.
What applications is this battery compatible with?
This NS70 footprint battery is explicitly optimised for inboard and outboard commercial or leisure vessels, 4WD auxiliary battery trays, camper setups, and power configurations demanding a balanced starting/cycling energy blend.
How should I store this battery during the off-season?
Store the unit in a cool, dry location away from freezing conditions or direct sunlight. Bring it to a full 100% state of charge prior to storage; its high-purity Calcium grids keep the self-discharge rate remarkably low during extended idleness.
What is covered under the warranty?
This Stowaway Marine battery features a 24-month replacement warranty for private use and an 18-month warranty for commercial use. This protects against unexpected terminal failure, casting defects, or factory structural assembly faults under standard operating marine conditions.
