"The jump start off the fancy battery is what I meant...So, the battery sitting in the back of your vehicle cost about 3 times give or take what the one getting you to the lake cost...Funny, Priorities I say!!!!"
[cool][#0000ff]Being a battery ex-spurt I am sure you realize the basic difference between a "car battery" and one made for deep cycle use. Completely drain and recharge your car battery a few times and you will have some early problems with it. There are batteries that claim to be good both for "cranking" and "deep cycle". But I have been told that whenever you build one for overlapping duties something has to give...and one or the other is not as good as if it would be if made solely for the primary need. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Also, the new AGM technology adds a few bucks to the basic cost.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]But it's only money. Right? [/#0000ff]
