How to Choose Batteries
Battery Basics 101 identifies two types of batteries: engine start and deep cycle. Typically, engine start batteries have shallow discharge. For instance, when you start your car, the battery discharge is 1 percent or less. But if you have a lot of auxiliary power on that vehicle, say, a police cruiser with its flashing lights and computers, the extra demand for power drains the battery. Engine start batteries won’t last long in that application.
