Deep cycle batteries aren't designed for starting loads. If you consistently use a deep cycle battery to start your car it's going to give the cells memory and degrade the battery.

i dont see how..... if so mine should be dead by now.LOL it started a 6V then my trucks V8.... and now just a 4cylinder...
if starting the vehicles woulda hurt the battery mine should be dead.......
never skiped a beat!
hell my amplifier used to pull more power than my starter ever has.LOL im sure that constant PULL>>> PULL>>>> PULL of power is alot harder on a battery then a 3second starter crank...
but thats just my opinion....
and my D34/78 is the model battery i have..... its a preaty standard fullsize car battery with top and side post terminals....

and have you upgraded alt's from your stock alt?
I was pushing 1600 with my stock alternator and it got fried.....
At first i thought it was my battery....so i bought a new "Energizer"
battery. But i got my alt checked and found out it wouldn't charge.
So i was thinking about buying a 165amp alternator for adecent price.
However, i hope it canwith stand even more watts that i plan to
throw in.I want to get another amplater on this year....much bigger...about
2000 watts, so i'll be running like 3k watts in total.

well your stock alts only like 70amps.... my old 1200watt orion amp pulled just about that much power.LOL so it kicked the alternator out when icranked it up.....
when i do upgrade to my RF 2Kwatt amp im gonna have to upgrade the alternator and also get 2 brand new yellow tops and maybe a third if i got the cash... and HOPEFULLY the alt will be able to survive!
but with 3K watts....... well ya might want to delte your AC and custom fab up a new alternator bracket and run dual alts.LOL
