What are the definitions of “deep-cycle” and “standby” applications?

Batteries for deep-cycle applications

With the “deep-cycle” application, the battery is used as a direct energy source: these batteries are often used intensively. In fact, they are charged and discharged several times throughout their service life. Batteries suitable for deep-cycle use are best suited for electric wheelchairs, golf carts, boats, electric lawn mowers, medical equipment and toys. Deep-cycle batteries can also be used to power electric motorcycles and scrubbers.

Batteries for standby applications

In “standby” use, the battery is used as a backup power supply. These batteries are intended for standby applications and are mainly used for emergency power. This limits damage from sudden power failure. When this emergency power is needed, stationary or standby batteries are often used. These batteries rarely discharge and the charge remains constant.
