SLI – These initials stand for Starting, Lighting and Ignition, which are the three
basic functions which a battery has to perform on all normal vehicles. This
battery type is used in cars, trucks and motorcycles. These batteries have vent
caps and are often marked 'Low Maintenance' or 'Maintenance-Free'. This type
of battery is designed to deliver quick bursts of energy (such as starting
engines) and have a greater plate count. The plates will also be thinner and have
somewhat different material composition. Most Maintenance Free Batteries are
SLI, otherwise known as Flooded, Regular or Standard Batteries. Regular
batteries should not be used for deep cycle applications.
Deep Cycle – Deep cycle batteries are usually marked as 'Deep Cycle' or
'Marine'. Deep cycle batteries are usually larger than the other types. This type
of battery has less instant energy, but somewhat greater long-term energy
delivery than regular batteries. Deep cycle batteries have thicker plates and can
survive a number of discharge cycles.
