i was just wandering if you could use a marine battery on a cav. i heard that they are the same as a deep cycle and cheaper. thats why im asking....
They may not have as long warranties?
im not sure but i heard they work good
i wouldn't know.
to be safe, why don't you either stick with stock, or get an Optima Red Top?

SO EVERYTHING!
marine batterys are deep cycle, which means.... i think they can go along time without a charge and still start up.
i dont see why NOT. but i also dont see WHY to pay alot more.

Yes you can use them, i have several friends with the optima blue top, which is the marine batttery, in their car. They did it so they would have more posts to use for the large stereo/air setups they have. Easy to disonnect and what not.
Marine batteries have higher voltages and CCA. You could kill your electrical system.

that also means you can completely drain and fully recharge the battery. sound competition folks use and love deep cycle batteries. make sure you get a battery that's rated for cold starts(for the winter).

At wal-mart they have marine batteries for 70 bucks. Optima Yellows around here are closer to 200 bucks. I do believe that the wal-mart battery has better specs than the optima yellow as well.

marine batteries are like any other type, there are different ones that do different things. there are 3 basic types of batteries regardless of the "color" or names.
Starter - These batteries are made to do just that, start your car and then hand over running of most stuff to your altermator. These are what a lot of your regular car batteries are. They are not made to sit with the car NOT running and be drained for long periods of time as the power curve declines fairly sharply once they start to drain. (As far as I know all "Red Top" optima's are starter bats.)
Deep Cycle - These are made to be near or completely drained and recharged. They maintain a pretty constant voltage as they are discharged till they are almost completely drained. These are the batteries you would use to power electronics if you use them a lot while the car is not running.
Combo Deep Cycle/Starter - These are the best of both worlds. They get a decent ammount of juice to start your vehicle, and can be used while the car is not running to power electronics.
Now, as far as marine batteries they are normaly Combo's. As long as they are 12V they aren't going to jack up your electrical system. I shouldn't have to say this but, DO NOT GET A 24V BAT!!!
