I certainly do not know how the internals (guts) differ on a standard battery vs deep cycle. But the ONLY application I was aware of for a 'deep cycle' battery is for trolling motors and lighting in boats?

My though has always been they are designed for low amperage draw over LONG periods of time, (slow draw-down).

In fact most fishing boats have deep cycle batteries for just such applications, and a standard battery for starting the engine ...don't they?

I don't think they are designed (internals) for large, instant current draws.

...but I may be wrong.
