I thought so too for years, till I realy started to learn more about batteries from an engineer from Exide. He explained the trouble with buying the largest cold crank bat we could for our trucks, its great if they need it, but the ones that don't it actualy shortens the life as they are not drawn down enough and will start to sulfate the plates over time. I said but how can that be as they always told us how bad it was to over discharge a non deep cycle, he pointed out that discharging slowly over time like rv or trolling motor is different than the rapid discharge that starting does, and still doesn't draw it down anywhere near as far as a deep cycle can go but there is a range they work best in. I now by a suitable battery not as big of battery as I possibly can. And one thing that came to mind after this discussion is the ridiculously small battery I bought for my Toyota pickup 7 years ago when it was on its last legs, bought it just cause it was on sale super cheap at kmart, the truck went to the junkyard a year later and the battery has been starting my Ford 3400 ever since even in subzero weather, so bigger isn't always better for sure!
