=======================================
That's not quite true although I agree that deep cycle batteries of
sufficient size make fine starting batteries.
The difference however is internal resistance. Because of the thinner
plates and other construction details, starting batteries have a lower
internal resistance to the flow of electricity which means that the
voltage at the terminals will be higher under heavy load (amperage).
On the other hand, the starting battery will be able to deliver high
current for a shorter period of time than a deep cycle, and will be
more easily damaged by sustained high current flow and deep discharge.
