\nThere are two types of lead-acid batteries: starting (shallow cycle) and deep cycle. Deep cycle batteries are intended to provide long periods of continuous power. They are primarily used for golf carts, small boats, and auxiliary or recreational vehicles. Starting batteries are the ones used for cars and trucks. They deliver large bursts of power in a short time-frame in order to start a vehicle\u2019s engine. <\/p>\n

Car batteries require a certain degree of maintenance and care, even if they are \u201cmaintenance-free\u201d car batteries.
