I have a deep cycle in my car and it starts up way better than when I didn't have the deep cycle. It's an optima yellowtop, so that may have something to do with it.
If you're worried, keep the car plugged in when you start it, thus relying a bit less on the battery, then unplug quickly, get buckled in, and off you go.
I'm doing this on my car. I have everything set up, but still setting up my mpguino to get a good baseline without the alternator plug-in delete.
Since I only have a 20 minute commute, I'm just going to disconnect my belt and run off the battery. I just need to make some LED headlights designed for my new 12.5v instead of 14.5, or rig up a way to re-aim my lights and use my high beams when I'm using just battery.
