Deka DP31DT Deep Cycle/Starting Battery

Heavy-Duty Deep Cycle – True Deep Cycle Service

• More power for trolling and electronic accessories
• Built-in protection against deep discharge damage
• Rugged vibration-resistant construction
• Reliable power for modest starting

 In contrast to the quick surge of power that is required for starting, deep cycle batteries are called upon to deliver smaller amounts of current over long periods of hours or days, rather than seconds.

While this battery can deliver plenty of starting power, it is specifically designed to withstand the special rigors of long, deep discharges and long, slow recharges. These super deep discharges and recharges can literally tear ordinary batteries apart from the inside. Sitting in a discharged condition causes the battery to corrode on the inside, just like iron rusts and corrodes in the salt air. If not recharged promptly and properly, the plates in a battery can disintegrate and fall apart in short order. This battery is specifically designed to withstand this harsh environment.
