The SUV battery you mention is probably designed to deliver large current for a short time (i.e. starting the engine) whereas a deep cycle battery is designed to provide less current but over a very long period of time (almost to the point of discharge). If you use a starter battery as a deep cycle battery it may not last long due to the lead plates deteriorating.<br><b>References : </b><br> Deep cycle batteries are constructed differently from batteries used to start vehicles.
