These differ from car batteries because they are made to provide continuous power rather than just a quick burst of starting power. Deep cycle batteries, despite their name, wear out after many cycles of charging and discharging. They are the low end of your battery options and should be used only if you are on a very limited budget. Industrial Strength Batteries Also deep cycle, but much more resistant to deterioration over multiple charging/discharging cycles, industrial strength batteries include these types: o Flooded o Gel o AGM Flooded These are similar in function to older kinds of car batteries, but much more robust. They are called flooded because there are caps on the top of the battery that you open and pour in distilled water in order to keep the internal lead and acid components wet. The d...
