Lead acid batteries can be designed for high amperage or deep discharge for 500 cycles, but not for both. Car starting batteries are poor economy for off-grid use. Nickel-Iron is almost free of degradation, but it weighs twice as much as lead. Jay Leno has a 1908 Baker with the original battery, IIRC.
