if you deep discharge only a few times a year, then it probably does not pay to buy deep discharge batteries. *a regular battery can be deep discharged a few times without damage and cost half of a deep discharge battery

Absolutely agree with what you say but I spent the extra money for peace
of mind and a dry basement :-)

well rather than one deep cycle battery, 3 car batteries.

More capacity at the same cost. Its unlikely a high capacity battery
bank will get deeply discharged, but a single battery may and be
damaged
