[TR] Group 49 battery preferred?

   Deep-cycle batteries (like the Optima yellow-tops) are better then regular batteries at handling the occasional deep discharge due to leaving the lights on, or limping home with a dead generator, or running the radio at Lovers Lane for hours on end.  If you've done any of these things more than once in the past year, then perhaps you have deep-cycle tendencies.  :)
   Deep-cycle batteries are used in electric vehicles too, for obvious reasons.
   They weigh more than regular batteries because the lead is thicker to handle the sustained current without overheating.
