Apparently not. I hate when that happens.

"Group" has to do with the physical size of the battery. And normally, the bigger the battery the higher the capacity (there are exceptions to every rule). Rather than retype a bunch of material, I'll point you at an excellent resource on the net:

Just a bit down the page there's a chart that gives dimensions and capacity estimates for the various groups.

Are you sure that you got a deep cycle battery? I'm betting you meant to type "CCA" - Cold Cranking Amps. That spec is typcially used with starting batteries. Deep cycle (or Marine) are more commonly spec'd with AH - Amp Hours.

If it is indeed a deep cycle, perhaps. If it's not, then you need to replace it.
