I am looking for a new starting battery for my 1999 Mercury 175 EFI (serial number 0G944199). I also have my electronics and bilge and aerator pumps running off the same battery. I was going to get a marine deep cycle battery, but was told that Mercury doesn't approve of those because of something to do with longer charging times adversely affecting some components of the motor. Is this correct? Is it just a recommendation? I really don't want to add a 4th battery just to run the electronics and pumps if I don't have to.
