Marine Batteries Shipped to Sausalito, CA
Sausalito sits on Richardson Bay just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, and its floating home community is one of the best known on the West Coast.
Marine Battery Source ships marine batteries to Sausalito, CA. There’s no local storefront here, so everything ships from us: lithium batteries over $150 and lead-acid and AGM batteries go free by curbside truck freight, and chargers and accessories are free over $150.
Sausalito waterways
Richardson Bay is home to marinas, moorings and floating homes, and Raccoon Strait, between Tiburon and Angel Island, leads into the rest of San Francisco Bay. The Golden Gate’s strong currents and summer afternoon winds make for challenging sailing. The Army Corps of Engineers’ Bay Model Visitor Center is in town.
Boats here are used year round, so keep batteries charged on shore power.
Recommended setups
Sailboats and cruisers
Many sailboat owners around San Francisco Bay 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.
Offshore center consoles
If you run twin or triple outboards, replace cranking batteries as a matched set. AGM batteries in Group 31 size are a dependable starting choice for big outboards, and many Sausalito owners add a lithium house battery so the electronics never touch starting power. Check your engine maker’s cranking amp requirement before you choose.
Houseboats and cruisers
Many cruising boats around San Francisco Bay are upgrading to lithium for faster charging and more usable capacity. Check your charging system first.
What people run and fish for in Sausalito
Halibut, striped bass and Dungeness crab are fished in and around the bay, and salmon outside the Gate in open seasons. Sailboats, cruisers and trawlers fill the marinas.
Keeping batteries healthy in California
Sailboats need house banks for instruments and autopilots, and strong winds call for firm battery mounts.
Bay and Delta waters can be rough. Secure batteries well.
Northern California has mild, wet winters and dry summers. Boats are used year round in many areas, but some owners lay up in winter. Keep batteries charged.

Questions from California boaters
My boat stays in the water all year in Sausalito. 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.
Do you have a store or installer in Sausalito?
No. We ship to Sausalito from our store. Professional installation is a flat $99 per battery ($249 for a 24V or 36V lithium bank) anywhere from Venice to Gainesville, with no travel charge.
How do lead-acid batteries ship?
Lead-acid and AGM batteries ship free by curbside truck freight to the lower 48, the same as lithium.
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.
