OK Shadow,
Here ya go, a sneak preview of what I been working on this summer.
Site is incomplete and will launch soon.
This is not an advertisement.
Some good comments on battery facts so far but I will add my 2 cents.
If your looking for a bigger gas tank such as trolling time then consider the reserve capacity rating.
This number tells you the minutes under 25 amp load and still maintain certain voltage.
This is how to measure capacity of deep cycle batteries, but only one of several rates given, such as CA, CCA, MCA, AH.
