Marine Batteries Shipped to Gig Harbor, WA
Gig Harbor sits on a small, protected harbor on Puget Sound, just across the Tacoma Narrows from Tacoma.
We don’t have a shop in Gig Harbor. Marine Battery Source is an online store, and we ship to Gig Harbor and the rest of Washington. Lithium batteries over $150 ship free by curbside truck freight to the lower 48. Chargers and accessories ship free when your cart reaches $150. Lead-acid and AGM batteries ship free by curbside truck freight too.
Where Gig Harbor boaters launch and cruise
The harbor’s narrow entrance opens to Colvos Passage and the Narrows, and Carr Inlet is to the west. Jerisich Dock is a public dock downtown.
The town has a long fishing history. Croatian and Scandinavian immigrants built a commercial fishing fleet here in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the Harbor History Museum tells that story. Waterfront net sheds still stand along the shore. Today the harbor holds sailboats, cruisers and kayaks, and the town’s waterfront restaurants and marinas draw boaters from across the South Sound. Colvos Passage, with a current that usually flows north, and the Tacoma Narrows, with strong tidal currents under the twin bridges, call for careful planning. Boats here stay in the water year round, so keep batteries on a smart charger and check terminals for corrosion.

Battery types and sizes for Gig Harbor
Sailboats
Many sailboat owners around Colvos Passage stay with AGM or flooded batteries for simplicity and cost. Whichever you choose, keep the house bank and starting battery separate, and replace all batteries in a bank at the same time.
Small boats and paddle craft
Small boats and jon boats around Gig Harbor often run a small trolling motor and a fish finder. A 12V 50Ah or 100Ah lithium battery saves weight and keeps the trolling motor strong all day.
Twin-engine and offshore boats
Center consoles that run offshore from Gig Harbor usually have one cranking battery per engine plus a house battery for electronics, pumps and lights. For cranking, a Group 27 or 31 AGM with high marine cranking amps is the common choice. A lithium dual-purpose battery like the EPOCH 172Ah can serve as a house battery and an emergency start, and it weighs a fraction of an equivalent AGM.

Frequently asked questions
My boat stays in the water all year in Gig Harbor. What should I do about batteries?
Keep the boat on shore power with a smart charger set for your battery chemistry, or use a battery switch to isolate the batteries between trips. Check terminals for corrosion every few months, and test the batteries before the busy season. If you leave the boat unplugged, a lithium battery’s low self-discharge helps it stay ready.
Who schedules the delivery?
The freight carrier calls the delivery phone number you enter at checkout to set up a delivery window. Someone needs to be there to inspect the shipment and sign.
Is lithium shipping really free to Gig Harbor?
