Depends on the battery technology and what it's used for.
"Deep cycling" could be good for NiCad batteries in _some_ situations, but
sure death to a Lead Acid battery.
More info please.

battery charger is: Shumacher sports 15Amp.
I think the difference would just be the charging cutoff voltage, but
not sure. ( whether the switch is set to regular..ie lower cutoff
voltage.)
(switch set to deep cycle...ie . higher cutoff voltage)

I couldn't see a 15A model on their web site.

with a current limit. When the battery is first put on charge the current
limit kicks in. As the battery fills up it's voltage rises and eventually
matches that of the charger so the current falls automatically. My guess is
that the deep discharge switch changes the current limit not the terminal
voltage but I might be wrong.

Thank you for your input.
I started using the deep cycle position and my battery is MUCH better
now, it also has a slightly higher voltage also. The batterie's
capacitance seems greater.
Again thank you.

Hi Curt,
I asked the makers what the deep discharge switch does to the fully charged
voltage and they sent this very brief reply...
"Deep Cycle turn off point is 14.9-15.2"
I can't remember what the standard turn off voltage is but I think it's
lower than that. In which case, charging a _standard_ battery with the
switch on _deep discharge_ may overcharge the battery. That will only cause
a problem if you forget and leave the battery on too long. eg it will bubble
away ("boil") and you loose electrolyte.
For info...I keep my deep discharge battery on a float charger permanantly.
I've just measured it and it keeps the battery at 13.6V without any boiling.
