7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: Brain with today's question, what is the difference between a

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: normal lead acid car battery and a deep cycle battery?

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: People who have recreational vehicles and boats are familiar with

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: deep cycle batteries. These batteries are also common in golf

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: carts and large solar power systems, where the sun produces

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: power during the day and the batteries store some of

13
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: that power for use at night. Both car batteries and

14
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: deep cycle batteries are lead acid batteries that use exactly

15
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: the same chemistry for their operation, and the differences in

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: the way the batteries optimize their design. A car's battery

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: is designed to provide a very large amount of current

18
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: for a short period of time. This surge of current

19
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: is needed to turn the engine over during starting. Once

20
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: the engine starts, the alternator provides all the power that

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: the car needs, so the car battery may go through

22
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: its entire life without ever being drained more than or

23
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: so of its total capacity. Used. In this way, a

24
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: car battery can last a number of years. To achieve

25
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: a large amount of current, a car battery uses thin

26
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: plates in order to increase the surface area. A deep

27
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: cycle battery is designed to provide a steady amount of

28
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: current over a long period of time. A deep cycle

29
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: battery can provide a surge when needed, but nothing like

30
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: the surge a car battery can. A deep cycle battery

31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: is also designed to be deeply discharged over and over again,

32
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: something that would ruin a car battery very quickly. To

33
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: accomplish this, a deep psycle battery uses thicker plates. A

34
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: car battery typically has two ratings, the cold cranking amps,

35
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: which are the number of amps that the battery can

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: produce at thirty two degrees fahrenheit for thirty seconds, and

37
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: the reserve capacity, the number of minutes that the battery

38
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: can deliver twenty five amps while keeping its voltage above

39
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: ten and a half volts. Typically, a deep psychle battery

40
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: will have two or three times the reserve capacity of

41
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: a car battery, but will deliver one half the cold

42
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: cranking apps. In addition, a deep cycle battery can withstand

43
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: several hundreds total discharge and rescharge cycles, while a car

44
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: battery is not designed to ever be totally discharged. For
