Deep Cycle batteries will supply their rated output continously for an extended period over a starter battery and will be generally rated lower for a similar size/capacity as a result.
For lead acid it has to do with their construction.
For Li type I'm not sure how/if they control output, I would think they were slow(er) discharge by design.

Provided the rated output from these batteries is adequate (you need at least 300 amps, preferably 500-600), you can easily start a car with them (I've got a couple of those LiPo mini jump start packs for emergencies - they work great even with only having about 200 cranking amps (despite claims)).

My only concern would be accepting charge from the alternator - they pump quite a wallop energywise...
