deep cycle are typically marine batteries. even if you kill them, you can throw a charger on them and they will be good again. Which means yellow top can be drained, but revived.
red top, if you kill them, your only going to get a fraction of the power back... but it does provide better cold cranking amps (cca's) which is good for us, in the frozen tundra months...
i wish i had known that when i got my redtop... 2 years ago. i thought red WAS deep cycle. (knew yellow was) now i keep fighting myself to get a yellow, since i accidentally killed my red twice.
