ET Talks About Century Batteries
“When you’re out on the water or on the road chasing fish, the last thing you want is power failure. That’s why I’ve trusted Century Batteries for the past 14 years to keep Escape Fishing with ET running strong — from offshore missions to remote bush filming, Century has never let me down.
My Surtees 7m Game Fisher runs a 250hp Honda outboard, and I rely on Century Marine Pro batteries to crank them over every time. These batteries are built for serious marine use — vibration-resistant, wave-tested, and tough enough to handle long runs, salty conditions, and hard work. What I love about the Marine Pro range is that they’re not just great starting batteries — they also support semi-cycling loads like my electronics and live bait tank systems. They give me the confidence to fish hard all day, no matter the conditions.
For my Garmin sounders, lighting, fridge systems, and any gear I run for extended periods, I’ve added the Century Lithium Pro Gen2 batteries. These things are next-level. They’re lightweight, incredibly efficient, and recharge super fast — which is a game-changer when you’re on the move and off-grid. With over 3,000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge, they last 10 times longer than a standard AGM deep-cycle battery. Plus, the Bluetooth monitoring means I can check the battery status on my phone, anywhere, anytime. It’s clean, quiet, dependable power I can trust.
I also run Century in my Sea-Doo Fish Pro, where space and reliability are critical, and even in my Hobie kayak, where I need compact, dependable power for filming and fishing in tight spots. On land, my Ram truck is powered by Century too — starting the engine, running all the onboard gear, towing the Surtees, and charging everything we use during filming.
Century Batteries are built specifically for tough Aussie conditions — from coastal salt spray to corrugated outback roads. Whether I’m chasing barra up north, reef fish on the east coast, or towing the boat across the country, I know I’ve got the best under the hood and on board.
After 14 years with Century, I can honestly say their gear has powered just about every adventure we’ve filmed. If you want serious, reliable performance from a brand that backs you all the way, you can’t go past Century Batteries.
