What is the Difference Between Deep Cycle and Starting Batteries?

The basic compounds of starting batteries and Deep Cycle Batteries are essentially the same--lead and acid. Deep discharge batteries used in recreational vehicles (RV's), boats, golf carts and other electric powered vehicles are designed to provide a continuous current over an extended period of time. These batteries can be routinely discharged to 50-80% depth of charge. To achieve this deep discharge ability, the plates are made thicker. They still have the ability to provide a short but less powerful burst of power compared to a similarly sized starting battery.

Starting batteries are designed to turn over an engine and provide high rates of current over a few seconds. These batteries seldom discharge past 20% depth of charge as most vehicles have an alternator that provides the necessary power to run the vehicle once started. To achieve the necessary burst of current these batteries need to have thinner plates which greatly reduces the internal resistance of the battery.

We offer a hybrid line of USA made AGM batteries made by North Star . These pure lead batteries are considered dual purpose batteries used both for starting your luxury bus and as your deep cycle house batteries. Their highly compacted ultra thin plates generate incredible cranking power and provide great reserve capacity. They are the best of both worlds!

Series / Parallel Combinations

The 6-volt GC2 Group size is popular with many motor home owners. Lifeline's GPL-6CT is essentially the same footprint and almost three inches taller, but provides roughly 50% more capacity. When you are combining four of these batteries via a series parallel configuration that makes for some serious run time!
