1. Reserve Capacity
I am comparing two group 65 batteries:
Sear Diehard Platinum P2
Cold Cranking Amps: 930
Reserve Capacity: 135
Weight: 60 lbs
Price: $190
AutoZone Duralast Gold 65DLG
Cold Cranking Amps: 850
Reserve Capacity: 150
Weight: 45 lbs
Price: $105
I thought one of the advantages of the Platinum/Odyssey batteries was a higher Reserve Capacity, but the DLG has a higher one.
2. Marine vs Starting
I know how a marine battery is optimized for more discharges at a slow rate, and a starting for few deep discharges but can handle large currents for short periods better. But if you have one of the bigger marine batteries, is there a problem using it for starting? I am kind of looking at the Sears Diehard Platinum PM-1 for the single battery in the Dormobile. It has a higher CCA rating than the Platinum P2 above, 1150 vs 930.
