I get my deep cycle batteries at Walmart. The label will say "Deep Cycle". It may say Marine/RV also, or not, but it must say "Deep Cycle."
It may also have "cold cranking amp" and/or "marine cranking amp" rating, or amp hour rating. This isn't a constant. Look for "Deep Cycle" on the label.

I buy all me vehicle batteries from Walmart. My reasoning is there are Walmarts just about everywhere, and that's where battery failures happen. Everywhere. And I don't want to drive a round looking for some store to use the warranty.
Here's a good read.
