[DML] Re: Deep Cycle

["dcsj4465" <dcsj@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dustin,

Do NOT put a Deep cycle battery in your car. The reason is that a 
Deep cycle battery lacks the ability to provide high cold cranking 
amps to spin your starter. I asked the same question to a battery 
store service person a month ago. That's what he told me. Yes, they 
tend to be built with thicker lead plates. But, they are designed to 
draw a constant current. Its one thing to start a small boat motor or 
run a constant draw trolling motor on rare occasions. It's another to 
start your car on a frequent basis. If Deep cycle batteries were ment 
to be used in cars, they would have been used in all of the cars on 
the road.

Besides once the car is running the battery is just going along for 
the ride. Your power is supplieid by your alternator. If if you 
intend to leave the headlights on all day and the doors open use the 
DEEP CYCLE their good for those kinds of things (LOL)Or running a 
MEGA Stereo system when your hanging out at the local Cruise-in 
parking lot.
