[QUOTE="thill, post: 518766, member: 4972"] I did the same thing with my little boat. That battery has plenty of juice to start a 20 HP, and then you can run fishfinders and radios all day. My current setup has a group 24 starter and a group 27 DC on a battery selector switch. When running out, I have the switch on BOTH, to make sure everything is topped up. When I stop for an extended period, I switch to the #2 DC battery for playing the radio or whatever. Then, I leave it there to charge #2 on the way back in, reserving a fully-charged battery #1 just in case. I've used this system for many years on many boats. I know some say both batteries must be exactly the same, but I have never had any kind of issue, besides good performance. [/QUOTE]
