It is if you gotta carry it 100 metres from the car

The electrolyte in a deep cycle battery is no different to that of any other lead acid battery, but the chemical composition of the plates is....The best thing you can do is recharge promptly and keep the discharge as shallow as you can, even if you have a deep cycle battery...

Ok Ok
I was trying not to get TOOOOOOOOOOOOO technical for Louies' sake, we have to use the KISS principal with him
The actual difference, to my understanding, is that a deep cycle battery uses thicker plates with a significantly higher antimony content in the lead alloy that the plates are made of. Also the lead oxide based paste that is on the grids is thicker and a different composition in a deep cycle battery.
