[QUOTE="Leeiswho2b, post: 1476891, member: 566054"] You have your "cranking battery" and the accessories' battery. You draw your car power off of the original (or stock) and you audio needs from the deep cycle. It helps your alternator by not drawing as much amperage at once so the stock battery doesn't get drained as quickly so the alt is not trying to play catch up as much, thus extending the alternator's life. The deep cycle has more reserve power so doesn't discharge as quickly. As long as you don't bump every single mile you drive it, the deep cycle will recharge in a relative easy manner. I have been wrong many times before though!!!!!!!! But, hey I'm from WV....it's all relative here!!!!! Actually, I have an AS in Electronic Engineering and am a journeyman electrician, but just getting back in the audio scene. [/QUOTE]
