Also not all batteries are created equal. Deep cycle batteries do not have a very good surge capacity. I had a huge battery that would not start my riding lawn mower. But a smaller motorcycle battery cranked it right up.

Both batteries were made for different purposes. Deep cycle will put a certain amount of current out for a long period of time but do not have a large surge current capacity.
