The BT is a marine battery. As such, it is sort of a cross between the YT (deep cycle) and the RT (starting battery). It is not a strict deep cycle battery, but does stand up to cycling more then the RT. It is designed primarily for long, lower current discharges.
Frankly, all Optimas for the past few years have been very poor quality. The Optima company was sold, and are now making a lot of batteries for the discount stores. Thus, quality has suffered.
I recommend another brand, like Exide or Deka (my favourite).
