Marine Batteries Shipped to Santee, SC
Santee, along I-95 in South Carolina’s Midlands, sits on the shore of Lake Marion, the largest lake in the state. Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie, together called the Santee Cooper lakes, were built by the state utility Santee Cooper for hydroelectric power around 1940.

The water around Santee
Lake Marion is connected to Lake Moultrie by the Diversion Canal, and the upper end of Marion is full of cypress trees, stumps and swamp. Santee State Park, marinas and public landings line the shore. Lake Moultrie, to the southeast, is more open water.
South Carolina summers are hot and humid, so keep batteries charged and ventilated. Lake Marion’s wide open middle can get rough in the wind, so mount batteries firmly.
Battery types and sizes for Santee
Bass boats and tournament rigs
Bass boats on Lake Marion usually run a 24V or 36V trolling motor and a separate cranking battery, plus electronics that can draw several amps at the console and bow. Lithium trolling batteries hold full voltage until nearly empty, so the motor doesn’t slow down late in the day, and they save a lot of weight in the back of the boat.
Pontoon boats
Pontoon owners in Santee often ask for more runtime for speakers and lights without giving up a reliable start. A 12V 100Ah lithium battery as a house battery, paired with a dual-purpose AGM for cranking, is a simple and popular setup. If you prefer one battery, choose a dual-purpose model with enough cranking amps for your outboard.
Multi-species boats
Choose deep-cycle batteries for trolling and a strong cranking battery for the main engine on Lake Moultrie.
Boats and fishing in Santee
The Santee Cooper lakes are famous for landlocked striped bass, which were found reproducing here and later stocked across the country. Giant blue and flathead catfish, crappie, bream and largemouth bass are also caught, and the world-record channel catfish came from Lake Moultrie in 1964.
Seasons and storage
Stumps and standing timber call for slow running, so trolling motors work hard. Pick deep-cycle or lithium batteries that last all day.
If you store your boat over winter, charge batteries fully first. Lithium batteries can sit for months with little loss; lead-acid batteries should be kept on a maintainer.
Southern reservoirs get hot in summer, and many boaters use them year round, with a slower season in winter. A boat that sits for a few months should have a maintenance charger or have its batteries disconnected.

FAQ
Does summer heat hurt marine batteries in Santee?
Yes. Heat is the main thing that shortens battery life. Keep batteries ventilated and out of direct sun, keep them charged, and choose sealed AGM or lithium if the battery compartment gets hot. Most lithium batteries have a battery management system that stops charging when the cells are too hot.
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.
Do chargers and accessories ship free?
Chargers, accessories and lithium batteries of $150 or less ship free when your cart subtotal is $150 or more. Otherwise a flat shipping rate applies, shown at checkout.
Can you ship to my marina?
We can ship to most addresses, but marinas with restricted access or no way to receive freight may cost extra or need special arrangements. A home or business address is usually easiest. Contact us before you order if you want to ship to a marina.
