Deep Cycle Battery

EN · machine-assisted draft
A battery designed for repeated, prolonged discharge and recharge, rather than chiefly for the brief high current used to start an engine. In camper discussions this distinction helps explain a leisure battery’s role. “Deep-cycle” is a duty description, not permission to drain any battery completely; chemistry and manufacturer limits still matter.
The camper uses a deep-cycle battery for its leisure loads.Attributed to vanagon_corpus_draftView source
