Re: Battery charging question
You only need about 50A to crank your engine, so you really don't need a starting battery. 1000MCA will be 950 unused.<br />Any reasonable deep cycle will be able to drop this normally (car battery sized deep cycles not emergency lighting type deep cycles). Some of the AGM deep cycle batteries are able to drop a few hundred amps, but you won't need that.<br />So - One deep cycle battery is all you need. If your going offshore, have two.
