Not necessarily. I might be mistaken, but iirc they use non-deepcharge batteries for starters because it can handle the large "current requests" better. If there is no such benefit over deep charge, I guess it's possible to be either, though more likely to be non-deepcharge since it would be less costly to ship with a manufacture.
