Starting batteries instead of deep cycle
So I’ve got a theory... Deep cycle batteries are designed to slowly discharge low current for a long time. Starting batteries are designed to put out high current for short periods. Generally, p...

No, just no to the OP.
Starting a motor is WAY more draw than any inverter you would be using. Your inverter is still only requiring a slow discharge from the battery. I'll stop here
I got the much-touted two-six-volt Trojans. Now my inverter won’t run my coffeemaker.
I had two 12-volt Costco marine/RV batteries. I always just used regular starting batteries before that. The screwy thing is, they would run it.
These real deep cycle Trojans just can’t put out enough current at once.
I understand what starting batteries are for and how they’re made.
I also see what the 6-volt deep cycles can’t do that my old conventional batteries couid do. So what’s a guy to do?
Two thousand dollars for a pair of lithium’s isn’t happening. I don’t use this camper enough to justify what it already cost, much less adding that. That’s 142% out of the question.
