Deep Cycle Marine Batteries

A deep-cycle marine battery is designed to discharge between 50% and 80% of their capacity depending on the manufacturer and construction of the battery on a regular basis. Although these batteries can be cycled down to 20% charge, to maximize the lifespan of the battery it is recommended to keep the average cycle at about 50% discharge. This is because there is a direct correlation between depth of discharge and the number of charge and discharge cycles a deep cycle battery can perform.

Starting Marine Batteries

In contrast, starting marine batteries are designed to deliver a short, high current burst for cranking the boat engine, and to frequently discharge of a very small part of their capacity. While a deep-cycle marine battery can be used as a starting battery, the lower "cranking amps" imply that an over-sized battery may needed instead.
