No, a deep cycle battery is designed to be run completely down without doing harm to the battery. A normal automotive battery be it diesel or gasoline is not designed to be run flat and every time it is run flat it's life is shortened.

How long should an RV battery last?
Most RV batteries are Deep Cycle type. Deep cycle batteries are lead-acid battery capable of being regularly discharged using most of its capacity in the process. Deep cycle batteries also have thicker plates inside the case. Normal car batteries will not discharge to the level or last as long as a deep cycle battery.As to how long it will last (lifespan) also depends on usage. Deep cycle batteries can be stored (fully charged) up to 12 months and only lose 25% of their capacity. Again depends on age of battery. Most RV's have a system where the deep cycle (RV) battery is constantly charged when the engine is running and most too will have a battery charge indicator on a control panel inside the RV itself.
