Personal Watercraft Battery Selection Chart
Not sure which battery you need for your jet ski? Use our PWC Battery Finder Chart below to choose the right battery for your personal watercraft. We stock 2 different types of battery in most cases, but Sea Doo uses a 30amp/hr battery in the 2004-2015 4-Tec models, so we have the one factory sealed battery just for the Sea Doo.
What is the difference between our Standard, Sealed, and Yuasa Sealed batteries?
Our Standard Battery is a wet cell, serviceable or maintenance battery. This means you are able to check the specific gravity of the acid mixture and add water or replenish the acid if necessary.
Our Sealed AGM batteries are maintenance free after the initial installation. You fill the battery with the supplied acid pack, and seal the top with the provided cap. That's it, the battery is charged and ready to install and you don't add any more acid or water to it. Sealed AGM Batteries are quickly becoming the standard battery for marine applications as they are durable and they last longer when sitting in a storage or over wintering environment.
Yuasa Sealed AGM batteries are much like our Sealed AGM batteries, they are just made by Yuasa. If you are looking for the most reliable battery you can find, we recommend Yuasa. This is the battery of choice for most PWC manufacturers.
Battery B10(YIX30L-PW) is the only completely factory sealed, maintenance free battery that we carry and only fits Sea Doo 4-Tec models up to 2015. The reason we don't like to stock factory sealed batteries is they don't last as long as our sealed or sealed agm batteries because they are filled at the factory, put on a shelf, shipped to a distributor, put on another shelf, shipped to us,again they are put on a shelf, then mailed to you. At this point you have to charge the battery for 12-24 hours prior to installation(It's written in the instruction manual,no kidding). Who really knows how long this battery has been in storage with acid eating away at the cells? We prefer to fill our own batteries and hope you will see the benefit and longevity of using these batteries!
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
