Batteries and Batteries

Post by tonyiiiafl »

West was having a sale on batteries. I got an Odyssey 4D AGM thin plate pure lead and a West AGM Grp 24 for the get set. 4D was at $349.00, and 24 was $93.00. I was going to use the 4D as a starting battery, 1539 MCA and 178AH, usd the GRP 24 for the Kohler genset, and replace the flooded 6V GC batteries with a couple 6V Gc AGM. However I had a ‘revelation”. What if I get a second 4D and mount it under the fwd hatch (390 CPMY), and run 4/0 cable to parrellel the other 4D giving me 356 AH house, and get a GRP 31 as a start battery?Sale is on one more day, so this is something I need to get thought out.
