Yes, a DP will handle differently (better) because of their weight, suspension and bigger tires. I prefer the state highways (better views, less traffic) and driving about 68.

Car batteries don't do well for long draw applications so they not typically good as house batteries. Deep cycle batteries are the best since the loads are slow and steady. The 31MDC is a good choice.
