A common question at RedPoint – and it’s a crucial one. Starting batteries are built for short, sharp bursts of energy to crank an engine. Deep cycle batteries, on the other hand, are made to release steady power over longer periods.
Use Starting Batteries for: cars, utes, trucks, motorbikes
Use Deep Cycle Batteries for: camping setups, caravans, solar, golf carts
Using the wrong type can result in shorter life and poor performance. If you're running a dual battery system, pair the right type in the right spot – a start battery for cranking, and a deep cycle for running your gear.
