Deep cycle = batteries that are designed for traction applications - very good for continuous power output, like powering ICE. The set back is charging must be done at very low amp ,normally not more than 1.5 amp and charging time can vary from 24 hrs up to 72 hrs depensing on battery amp /hr and charge status.

Its a brand name, there are also many others like odyssey, etc.. there are several advantages and disadvantages but it all depends on you. to name some, crisp starts,

longer Battery life, vibration resistance, longer shelf life, n0 maintenance and it is completely sealed.

 

If it is totally discharged (which i have never experienced... you could get a 3 stage batt charger and get it up... and one advantage you can also mount it upside down :)
