[QUOTE="quackhead, post: 7852376, member: 573547"] Make sure you have a deep cycle AGM up front and add at least 1 deep cycle AGM battery to the rear. The deep cycle allows for a deeper constant discharge and the ability to be drawn down and brought back to full charge without damage to the internal plates. The Absorbed Glass Mat or AGM type of deep cycle batteries discharge and recharge [B]quicker[/B] than a regular flooded type deep cycle. This effect can be enhanced further by using the same type of batteries throughout the system. You do not want to mix normal starting type batts with deep cycle, or worse flooded cell with AGM, they charge differently and will have adverse effects on the whole system and possibly some premature batt failures. A dash mounted voltage meter will keep tabs on things and you know what is going on at all times. [/QUOTE]
