Victron 12V/130Ah AGM Deep Cycle Battery only service or dual purpose?

[Tiho]

Hello, please, I need a help regarding VICTRON AGM 12V/130Ah Deep Cycle BATT bat 412121084. I bought this battery for a boat. Intention was powering navigation, lights and other equipment. My question is: is this battery dual purpose? Can I use it to start the outboard engine and for other systems on the boat? Or there are other Victron “dual purpose” batteries, different than the one I have. I checked internet and cannot find clear answer. Please, i will really appreciate quick answer. Thank you. Best regards…

Right out of the victron agm battery literature

“ Our AGM deep cycle batteries have excellent high current performance and are therefore recommended for high current applications such as engine starting”

Thank you Dave, please, here is why I am confused;

“The Victron Energy 12V 130Ah AGM Deep Cycle Battery is designed for high-performance applications requiring reliable power delivery, such as inverters, thrusters, and winches. With a low internal resistance, this battery excels in high current discharge scenarios, making it an ideal choice for demanding energy needs.”

Can I use this particular model for both; starting outboard engine and the boat’s electrical appliances?

Have you read the datasheet, see extract below, they quote a CCA, cold cranking amps, i.e. engine starter duty rating. If your outboard is less than this then you should be OK.
