Any Marine/multipurpose battery is not a real deep cycle battery and will be damaged by even a single deep discharge. That is an unfortunate fact that is a result of being able to provide current for cranking an engine.
If you are going to strap 2 or more 12V batteries in parallel, be sure to keep a box of baking soda on hand to neutralize the acid that will be around after one of the two explodes.

Why should two 12s explode?
There are several million diesel trucks running around that suggest otherwise.
