Marine "Starting" battery?

I opened the battery case on my new 3400RL, and to my surprise it had a Marine Starting battery. I was expecting a deep cycle, perhaps a Marine Trolling battery.

What's up with this? What did your's have?

I know a "starting" battery is not designed for repeated discharge/charge cycles like we use a RV battery for.

Ours came with a deep cycle. I'm in the marine business and you got the wrong battery. It will not last if totally discharged like the deep cycle. Dan

We took delivery of our new Monty last month and it came with a deep cycle battery.

My impression is that the dealer supplies and installs the battery. I may be wrong but I noticed that the dealers parts department always carries the same type of battery as installed in the new units, but the battery type/manufacturer varies between dealers.

I suggest you take this up with your dealer.
