Or go for a dual set up? the Eurover will get a double setup with lithium , for now a single battery has to do . with the setup i have now i can run my fridge for 2 maybee 3 days and still be able to start without trouble's .

Escape Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I'd go for the biggest start battery that fits (and is reasonably priced). You'll pay more for a semi-traction and it will be less suited to the short but intense load when winching. Just don't run the start battery too low too often. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told by a bettery supplier that a 50amp red top battery is equivalent to a 100amp lead acid so would assume the same for the 75amp yellow, so I guess it would be equivalent to around 150amp. I can vouch that a 50amp red top will start a Cummins 6bt from cold like it's an A series. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
