Deep cycle batteries are made from a few thick plates rather than a lot of thin plates. The thick plates resist heavy cycling better than thin ones like one would get with a trolling motor.

Therefore, with less surface area, one would expect, and it is advertised by the battery mfgr. that the deep cycle can't put out the CCA that the conventional battery can.

Butttttt always exceptions to the rule. I bought a well used 4010 Deere (80 pto hp) and it had a single 12v deep cycle battery for starting. I was totally amazed that it did a "pretty good" job of starting that tractor in N. Texas winter weather.

So, if you want a real cure, get a 900 (actually a pair wired in parallel) CCA truck battery with the shortest 00 gauge cables you can manage (locating the battery next to the starter really helps) with ALL the connections (including the grounds including the case of the starter) nice and clean, bright, and tight. Guarantee you you won't have that problem again.
