    For simple starting purposes a deep cyle battery is not the best.
    They are designed to release their stored energy consistantly over a
    long period of time and to be capable of being run to a flat condition
    frequently. A high current draw can damage them
    The starting battery needs to release the power in large amounts is a
    short period but is rarely run flat. Frequent running to flat will
    shorten the life of a starting type battery
    These two requirement mean two different internal structures.
