Marine Batteries Shipped to Lake Hartwell, SC
Lake Hartwell straddles the South Carolina-Georgia line on the Savannah River, a Corps of Engineers reservoir of about 56,000 acres with more than 900 miles of shoreline. Clemson University sits on its shore, and Anderson is nearby.
Boaters in Lake Hartwell order from us online and we ship to them. Every lithium battery over $150 and every lead-acid or AGM battery ships free by curbside freight anywhere in the lower 48 states, and parts and chargers ship free on orders of $150 or more.
Boating around Lake Hartwell
Hartwell Dam holds back the Savannah River, and the lake is formed where the Tugaloo River and the Seneca River meet. Twelve Mile Creek and dozens of other arms branch off. Corps parks, state parks and marinas, including Lake Hartwell State Park, give access on both sides of the border.
Water levels drop in dry years, so check the Corps’ current lake level before you launch. Summer heat is hard on batteries, so keep them charged and ventilated.
Boats and fishing in Lake Hartwell
Striped and hybrid bass, largemouth and spotted bass and crappie are the main fish. Lake Hartwell has hosted the Bassmaster Classic several times. Bass boats, pontoons and wake boats share the lake, and Clemson football weekends bring a fleet of boats to the campus shore.
Keeping batteries healthy in South Carolina
Tournament bass boats run trolling motors and big electronics all day, so pick deep-cycle or lithium batteries that match your motor’s voltage.
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.
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.
Battery types and sizes for Lake Hartwell
Bass boats
For tournament anglers fishing the Seneca River, battery choice comes down to runtime and weight. A 36V lithium battery replaces three heavy lead-acid batteries, and a dedicated 12V lithium for electronics keeps sonar screens bright all day. Don’t forget the charger: lithium batteries need a charger with a lithium profile.
Pontoons and party barges
A pontoon spends more time idling and anchored than running, so the engine has little chance to recharge the battery. Plugging in a charger after every trip, or switching to lithium with its faster charge acceptance, keeps a pontoon ready for the next evening cruise around the Seneca River.
Watersports boats
Wake and ski boats on Lake Hartwell run big stereos, ballast pumps and lights. A strong cranking battery plus a separate house battery for the audio system is the best setup.
