painting is necessary, the color of the battery tells what type of battery you have.

you have no issues using the deep cycle battery as a starter battery? i've heard mixed opinions about this from people in the Northeast trying to start their cars on cold winter mornings.

Never had a problem and I have been using Yellow tops in all my cars for the past 6+ years. Even in my older cars.
