Any battery that can handle 50% DoD for years at a time as the JCI 29 can is a deep-cycle.
I will concur with that statement, if you can show me a document that states this.jkwilson wrote:
The only thing the term "marine" means on a battery is the terminal size and type.
Marine/dual purpose batteries advertise CCA or MCA. I have never seen any true deep discharge battery advertise either.
Advertising CCA is irrelevant. Every battery has a CCA value, and measuring and reporting it doesn’t change the type of battery it is. A deep-cycle battery makes an excellent cranking battery in low demand applications, though the reduced plate area generally cuts CCA by about 1/3.
