[QUOTE="THATpurpleKUSH, post: 8650857, member: 615398"] In a nutshell- Starting batteries are meant to give a short burst of high current to supply a starter for the purpose of turning over an engine. Deep cycle batteries are meant for running high powered electronics and are designed for sustained current draw and many discharge and recharge cycles. Pulling constant high current from a starting battery will overheat the thin plates inside which hurts immediate performance (insufficient voltage because it can't supply the current) as well as a shortened overall life of the battery. You shouldn't even be using an Optima battery in the first place, they are absolute garbage to begin with. [/QUOTE]
