marine vs car battery?

[ronn]

another question to those that know far more then me.........


while walking around walmart this morning, I noticed the higher prices of car batteries, but the marine batteries were cheaper, giving out more cranking amps and when I say cheaper, by a good 50 bucks.


other then being in a very cold climate, why wouldnt one choose a marine batt over a car batt, for far less $ and better cranking amps?
