For a conventional flooded lead acid battery, the more lead (plates) and acid corresponds to more weight, although "weight" isn't a rating I've ever seen published on the side of a battery.

Amp Hours is a measure of the energy storage capacity, so if you have maybe a solar system or an RV etc., Amp Hours is certainly a rating you want to consider and those are often advertised on Deep Cycle Batteries.

Another rating to consider in Deep Cycle battery use is the rated number of Life Cycles and that's often a published and advertised rating you can use to make a choice.

Id you need more of a conventional auto/truck engine starting battery (NOT a Deep Cycle) Cold Cranking Amps or CCA is a rating to look at.

So I would say the use of the battery (deep cycle or auto starting) determines the ratings and parameters you may want to look at when choosing.
