Typical boats around Burlington
Bass, walleye, salmon and lake trout. Sailboats and fishing boats are common.
The water around Burlington
Burlington Bay has a public marina and waterfront park, and Malletts Bay lies to the north. The Inland Sea, between the Champlain Islands and the Vermont shore, is a large, protected area.
Lake Champlain is 120 miles long and very deep in places. Burlington’s waterfront hosts sailing schools and ferries to New York. Champlain’s broad lake can get rough when the wind blows from the south or north, so boats need secure battery mounts and a healthy cranking battery. The lake’s deep, cold water holds lake trout and landlocked salmon, and its bays and marshes hold bass and pike, so many anglers trailer to different parts of the lake through the season.
Battery types and sizes for Burlington
Sailboats and cruising boats
Sailboats and cruisers in Burlington rely on a house bank for lights, refrigeration, instruments and an autopilot, plus a starting battery for the auxiliary engine. A bank of 6V golf-cart batteries wired in series is a traditional choice; lithium banks like the EPOCH 12V 300Ah or Battle Born 100Ah give more usable capacity and recharge faster from solar or the engine.
Fishing boats
Multi-species boats on Lake Champlain usually run a bow-mount trolling motor, a kicker motor and a big main engine. Lithium trolling batteries save weight and provide steady power.
Pontoons and party barges
Most pontoons on Lake Champlain run a single 12V battery for the engine, stereo, lights and maybe a small trolling motor. That works until the music runs through a long afternoon at anchor. A dual-purpose battery, AGM or lithium, handles both cranking and accessory loads better, and a second battery on a switch keeps starting power in reserve.
Climate, storage and winterizing in Burlington
The lake freezes in winter. Charge batteries before storage.
The lake season is short and busy. Test batteries in spring before launch.
Northeast lakes freeze in winter, and boats come out in fall. Before storage, charge batteries fully and remove them or keep them on a maintenance charger. Standard lithium should not be charged below freezing.

Questions from Vermont boaters
Do I need a heated lithium battery for Burlington?
Only if you plan to charge in freezing weather. Standard lithium batteries should not be charged below 32°F. Batteries with internal heating, like several EPOCH models and the Dakota Lithium DL+ 135Ah, warm themselves before charging. For normal spring-to-fall use with winter storage, a standard lithium battery is fine.
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.
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.
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.
