Though you can get DEEP CYCLE 12 volt if you search hard enough most 12 volt batteries are MARINE/deep cycle these are really starting batteries and shoudl be kept 75-80% full or more. RUn 'em down to 60% and they start "Fast aging"

According to whom? Trojan refers to their Marine / RV Batteries as DEEP CYCLE ... surely you're not suggesting that Trojan doesn't want anyone depleting any of their 12 volt batteries in this series down to just 80%?! :R

Trojan also makes true 12 deep cycle batteries. They sell 6V, 8V, and 12V golf cart batteries, and these are their true deep cycle batteries.
I don't see anywhere where Trojan defines their Marine / RV batteries as being any less "deep cycle" than any other of their deep cycle products, be it the AC Series, Plus Series, etc. In fact, the popular Trojan T-105 GC-2 battery is part of this Marine / RV series which offers choices in both 6 volt and 12 volt configurations, with neither being any less "deep cycle" than the other.
