Yup... A friend recommended Deka to me a while back... never had a problem with it yet.

And for the record Roffey.. a deep cycle battery is usually used for an electric trolling motor.. something that drains the battery waaaayyyyy down during the day. Assuming that your engine's charging system is working properly, a good starting battery is all that you'll ever need.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.

My set up is one starting battery for starting only and one deep cycle with all of my electronics on it, set up on a 3 way switch. I can use the deep cycle to start if needed. Seems to work out well for me.
