The main 3 types of batteries for 4x4 vehicles:

Starting batteries Dual-purpose batteries (a mixture of starting and semi-cycling abilities) Pure deep-cycle batteries.

The differences between the main 3 types of 4x4 batteries:

Starting batteries are able to cope with excessive under-bonnet temperatures, continuous vibration and repeated impact from rough and uneven outback roads. Dual-purpose batteries have, on top of the starting power, the ability to power campsite accessories, provided the 4×4 it’s installed in is on the move frequently and the workload is light when the engine isn’t running. Pure deep-cycle batteries are built for long-term remote adventure, where you can enjoy the time-out while the campsite is being powered, all electronic equipment is charged and the starting (main) battery is taking a rest – that is, when it's optimised with a dual-battery system setup .
