tmorrow I will go back to the work shop to try starting it ... I hope I get sucess...

A deep cycle is for running lights , wheel chairs , golf carts ,
back up power for alams etc ...They can deliver there rated out put
for a long time.. but not surply enough amps in one hit to turn a starter motor..

A starting battrey has to be able to deliver a lot of amps in one hit..
the CCA rateing "CCA = Continus Cranking Amps"
a 12AH starting battery could deliver 120amps for a very short time. (120CCA)
