GeauxPower Marine designs, installs and troubleshoots starting, house and trolling-motor battery systems. Each system is planned around the boat’s electrical loads, battery chemistry, required operating time, charging sources and circuit-protection needs.
The engine, electronics, pumps, lighting and trolling motor do not place the same demand on the electrical system. GeauxPower evaluates each load and builds the battery arrangement around how the boat is actually used.
Starting batteries and conductors must deliver high current to the engine while remaining protected from unnecessary discharge.
House banks support electronics, lighting, pumps, radios, accessories and other loads without depending entirely on the engine-starting battery.
Dedicated 24-volt and 36-volt systems require correct series configuration, conductor sizing, charging and protection.
A dependable battery system also depends on charging capability, conductor size, connection quality, voltage drop, circuit protection, equipment loads and how the separate battery banks interact.
View All Marine ServicesCharging equipment must match the battery chemistry, system voltage, available power source and intended use of the boat.
Multi-bank shore-power chargers can maintain starting, house and trolling-motor batteries when the boat is connected to an appropriate AC power source.
Engine charging output can support starting and auxiliary battery banks when the system includes appropriate isolation, switching and charge management.
An automatic charging relay can combine compatible battery banks during charging and separate them when charging voltage is no longer present.
DC-to-DC equipment can provide controlled charging between battery systems with different requirements or separate system voltages.
Lithium systems require compatible charging profiles, appropriate protection and consideration of battery-management system behavior.
Dedicated multi-bank charging keeps each battery in a 24-volt or 36-volt series bank charged individually and correctly.
A shunt-based battery monitor measures current entering and leaving the battery bank. This provides more useful information about electrical consumption, charging performance and remaining capacity than a basic voltage display alone.
View Trolling Motor SystemsEstimate the remaining usable battery capacity based on measured current flow rather than voltage alone.
See how many amps the electronics, pumps, lighting and other connected equipment are drawing.
Confirm whether charging equipment is supplying current to the battery bank and how quickly the bank is recovering.
Identify unexplained current draw that may contribute to battery discharge when equipment should be turned off.
Identify the batteries, charging equipment, engine output, electrical loads, conductors, switches and protection devices currently installed.
Establish the necessary battery capacity, system voltage, charging sources, operating time and battery-bank separation.
Install batteries, cables, switches, buses, chargers, fuses, breakers and monitoring equipment in a serviceable layout.
Verify battery-bank voltage, charging operation, current flow, circuit protection and equipment performance under load.
Send the boat year, manufacturer and model, engine information, existing battery configuration, trolling-motor voltage, electronics installed and clear photos of the battery compartment and charging equipment.
