Basically good for things that will draw the battery down a lot without charging it (running stereo/ lights without the car on or a trolling motor). Deep cycles technically aren't meant to be charged constantly like how an alternator does.. but its not a big deal or anything.

Red, AFAIK is just a big beefy starting battery, which willdie quicker if run down a lot.
