[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1627518, member: 27848"] I expelled the "myth" about deep cycles (straight deep cycle, not combos) not capable of starting engines. I bought a 30+ year old JD 4010 (70 hp or so diesel tractor) with a really dirty size 27 deep cycle battery and judging from the dirt and grime on it it had been on the tractor for several years and apparently worked ok as the previous owner was still using the tractor. I had no problem starting that diesel engine, year round, here in N. Tx. for several more years. For folks not familiar with the tractor, diesels have to spin up fast enough, and have enough compression to get the compression temperature hot enough to explode the diesel mist when injected. The engine was around 350 cu inch or so. Assume the CCA requirement to be in the 300 amp for 30 seconds range to start that machine. [/QUOTE]
