I'm about to replace the battery on one of our other vehicles
that's becoming marginal as a starting battery and was wondering
whether I should just get my $5 core charge or try to use it as a
deep cycle to run stuff.

I figure I can't break anything, but I'm not sure how it would stack
up against a real deep cycle in terms of charge life.

Also, the local FLAPS has starting battery "seconds" for $30 that
might do the same thing.
