Hi all...
I have a car I often take on weekend camping trips...
These trips happen 2 or 3 times a month...and usually cover 2 days and nights...
Anyway, on these trips I generally need ( ...well could use...) ALOT of power for recharging and running widgets I bring along.....
I have on rare occasion used a normal car battery for power and have gotten away with draining the car battery down pretty far......
It is my understanding that draining a normal car battery down to around 50 to
80 percent of its amp hour capacitymore than a few times is a BAD thing to do .....However, it also my understanding that deep cycle batteries DONT mind this NEARLY as much....
So, Id like to have this remote power more often and its about time for a new car battery....so my question is....
Can I use a deep cycle/"trolling motor" battery as a replacement for a normal car battery?
Note that my car starts very easily and living in the southeast I am usually starting my car in temps warmer than 60 and almost allways warmer than 40 degrees F.
Thanks
Bill
