SO, BASICALLY A DEEP CYCLE BATTERY AND A TROLLING BATTERY ARE THE SAME
THING AND WILL BOTH LAST ME LONGER (DUE TO THE NUMBER OF RECHARGES
AVAILABLE)THAN A STARTING BATTERY; HOWEVER, WITH THAT SMALL ENDURA 30,
A STARTING BATTERY WOULD WORK OKAY (ALTHOUGH IT WOULDN'T LAST AS LONG)
IF I KEPT THE SPEED DOWN AND DIDN'T ASK IT TO WORK TOO HARD. IS THAT
ABOUT IT?

No, the starting battery will be very prone to failure after the 2 or 3rd
recharge. The plates warp and short out. If you get a Wal-mart or some
other 6 month full replacement battery, you may be ok on your money, but
every couple of months you will have to take the battery in. The difference
in price is negligible. A deep cycle group 27 at Costco is about $53.
Group 24 a couple of bucks cheaper. Wally world is probably in the same
price range.
