• Marine batteries are a compromise between marine and deep-cycle batteries, and share characteristics of both.
• A deep-cycle battery is designed to be repeatedly discharged 80% of capacity and can deliver a steady current for a long period of time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_cycle_car_battery
