Thinking of buying gel or agm battery for boat, looking to use it as start battery for 40 hp honda 4 stroke,honda uses 12 v regulator putting out 10amps,the battery would also be hooked for use with 55 pound minn kota electric motor for intermittent use 1hr on move boat etc ,I think the minn kota draws 45 amp an hour full throttle but I do use it full throttle most of the time.also do you need any special requirements for recharging? I have battery link charger(super cheap)boost setting 12v 12.8amp,trickle setting 12v 2.4amp,engine start setting 7.2 v 55amp, the charger is auto shut off,I normally just disconnect charger when charged led comes on.I previously had a deep cycle 100 amp and a century 430 cca start battery,I would prefer to just have one battery which fits in floor space of my hornet,fits larger 4wd battery.thanks for any advice
