Yes, it can. It will work OK if you have no other alternative battery choice. It will last quite a while operating a car. However, the deep cycle battery will not be charged fully by an alternator.
Can I use a 12v deep cycle battery in my car?
If the marine battery is a 12-volt battery, then you can use it for your car. This will enable it to be both a starter and a deep cycle battery.Marine batteries are probably not recommended to power cars for a long period of time. This is because they would probably shorten the battery’s lifespan.
Can you hook a deep cycle battery to a regular battery?
Can You Hook A Deep Cycle Battery To A Regular Battery? If you want to charge both batteries, you need to switch on “both”, but the starting battery should not need any help starting the engine, so have it checked if it does appear. There is no problem with the batteries as they both start the engine.
What’s the difference between a car battery and a deep cycle battery?
Car batteries are specially designed to provide a short, sharp burst of power in order to crank over and start the vehicle’s engine.Deep Cycle batteries are constructed using thicker battery plates and a denser active material, to withstand repeated charge and discharge cycles.
Are deep cycle batteries good for car audio?
They also don’t need to be vented and can be mounted in any position. Deep cycle/Marine batteries will work OK, but are designed more for constant sustained low-power draw.
Can I use AGM battery in my car?
Yes, it provides the same 12 volts DC to any vehicle that uses a 12 v battery. It’s just a sealed paste and has the same voltage ranges and Cold Cranking as most 12 volt batteries. It’s still LEAD chemistry. Some even say they last longer.
Can you mix deep cycle and starting batteries?
You are not hurting anything and you need the switch on “both” if you want to charge both batteries, but the starting battery should not need any help starting the engine. If it does, have it checked. The batteries are OK as either battery will start the engine.
Can you run a deep cycle battery in parallel?
By connecting multiple deep cycle batteries, you can increase either the storage capacity or the voltage of any battery system. The most common connection is a parallel termination, in which the power is increased, but the voltage remains the same as each individual battery.
Can you mix group size batteries?
We strongly recommend you DO NOT attempt to mix battery sizes (amp-hours) and connect together. Due to differences in battery management systems and battery cell counts, there may be a charging and voltage discrepancy between batteries.
Are deep cycle batteries worth it?
Deep-cycle batteries can be repeatedly discharged and recharged without causing damage or shortening their life. They are well suited to powering numerous electronics and plug-in accessories, or other applications that place high demands on them such as marine.
Is deep cycle battery better?
Unlike a traditional car battery, deep-cycle batteries provide a long, steady stream of power. It can provide a short burst of power, but nothing like a car battery. Deep cycle batteries are also lead-acid batteries but they are designed to be discharged and recharged regularly.

What is the life of a deep cycle battery?
Most deep cycle batteries can last up to six years with proper care and charging (depending on the frequency of use). It’s up to you to make sure that your battery isn’t being damaged by your charging routine.
How many batteries do I need for 5000 watt amp?
You will need at least one 450-500 12V battery or two 210 12V batteries to supply 5000 watts of power for 30-45 minutes. If you’d like an hour of 5000 water of power, you’ll need a 750ah 12V battery.
How many amplifiers can a car battery handle?
You can wire two amplifiers, or even multiple amps, in one car audio system, but it takes some extra planning.
Can I use marine battery for car audio?
So, yes. A marine battery can replace a car battery if it meets the requirements about voltage, CCA rate, size, and terminal positions: Is a 12V battery that is recharged by the alternator.
Can a car alternator charge a AGM battery?
Yes. Many vehicles now come equipped with an AGM battery. Keep in mind, an alternator should not be used as a battery charger. If your battery is dead, slow charge it with a battery charger or maintainer (compatible with AGM and gel cell) and have it tested before you start the engine, whenever possible.
Is an AGM battery a deep cycle battery?
AGM Batteries
Absorbent glass mat (AGM) is a class of lead-acid deep cycle battery in which the electrolyte absorbs into a fiberglass mat. The plates in an AGM battery may be flat like wet cell lead-acid battery, or they may be wound in a tight spiral.
Can you charge a AGM battery with an alternator?
Charging From Your Vehicle Alternator
In general car or van alternators work reasonably well with Lead Acid and AGM batteries.
Is a dual purpose battery deep cycle?
Dual purpose batteries are ideal for applications that require starting and deep cycle service. They deliver powerful cranking amperage for easy starting, and low amp draw service for reliable auxiliary power.
Can you put different amp hour batteries in parallel?
You can connect your different amp hour rated batteries together in parallel as long as they are of the same type. This is to ensure the charge profile selected on the BCDC is suitable for both batteries.
Can I mix AGM and flooded batteries?
You CANNOT mix and match AGM and flooded battery types on the same battery charger. You’ll need a different charger for each different type of battery or it will shorten your battery life.
