Why is a deep cycle marine battery recommended? These batteries are not designed to be constantly charged.
Solar Heavy Duty Single Automatic Gate Opener Kit - TSS1XP
Marine batteries are rated at 32 degrees as where automotive batteries are rated at 0 degrees. This will make use less reliable in cold weather. Deep cycle batteries tend to develop a "memory" when constantly charged and not discharged with each use. I will buy a deep cycle if necessary for the warranty, however that stipulation is not listed anywhere in the product information. Automotive starting batteries are designed to be constantly charged, that is why I confused by the recommendation.
