Primarily it is astarting / cranking battery, but has the ability to be cycled (similar to deep cycle), but not to the same DOD (Depth ofDischarge) as a deep cycle.

4 These batteries would be used in applications that required high Cold Cranking Amps(CCA) (for starting) and were being discharged to 25% DOD (light duty cycle).Which combine the characteristics of a deep cycle battery with the cold cranking ability of a traditional battery. Thesebatteries are the perfect choice for the recreational boater, providing a balance between effective starting power anddeep cycle power and recharge are designed to be run down and then charged up again on a regular basis, running powered items in aboat, caravan or SUV. These batteries traditionally have limited cold cranking / starting ability and are generally notused for engine starts, although they can be depending on the nominated current draw for a particular ACDelco Battery range consists mainly of two different battery designs:STARTING / CRANKING (TRADITIONAL AUTOMOTIVE TYPE BATTERIES)A HIGH CYCLE BATTERYDUAL PURPOSE STARTING AND DEEP CYCLE (MARINE / RV BATTERIES)DEEP CYCLE BATTERIESACD elco Low Maintenance Accessible Battery (LMA)ACDelco Sealed Maintenance Free Battery (SMF)4 The ACDelcoTheACDelcoThe ACDelco Sealed Maintenance Free (SMF) and Low Maintenance Accessible (LMA) manufacturing and designprocess differs from most other conventional batteries in several strategic Batteries use wrought-lead calcium expanded grids that provide.

5 Strong corrosion shelf free to other conventional batteries use cast antimony grids which make the battery more susceptible to corrosion andwater ACDelco flat-bottomed, polypropylene rib case provides improved vibration resistance and stronger some other batteries use removable covers, the ACDelco SMF Battery incorporates sealed covers with built inflame arresters for better resistance to acid loss, electrolyte contamination and explosions from external SMF Batteries incorporate a patented Liquid Gas Separator which prevents electrolyte losses. The liquid iscollected and returned to the Sealed Maintenance Free Batteries have a very low self-discharge rate below 27 C, see Figure 1. Althoughstorage above 27 C increases self-discharge, ACDelco Sealed Maintenance Free Batteries stored at constantelevated temperatures (38 C) have a shelf life three times longer than conventional wet antimony comparable to dry charged batteries that are not vacuum installation without charging where good stock rotation andinventory control is maintained (three turns or more a year).
