Thanks. -- david The Deep Cycle have more Reserve. If you out using Radios, lights, etc. It's all I use in my Boat. I am installing a second Battery this year.It's be a Standard Car Battery.Run out to the fishing spot on both, then shut down to the Deep Cycle while trolling. It still charges both.If the deep gets low, switch to the other to get home. Don should be here at any moment to correct your typos and bad grammar. That and his lies and insults are all he has. |

Stick with what you have: if it ain't broke don't fix it. A deep cycle battery has fewer and thicker plates compared to a starting battery. The smaller surface area of the plates means you will get a smaller maximum current. Enough is enough, however. Remember, you won't have to contend with cranking at sub zero temperatures when the battery capacity is cut in half and the oil is really stiff. A deep cycle battery will have to be larger to provide the same cranking current as one designed for high peak current. Casady |
