I have some old AGM batteries which used to be rated for 75Ahs. They currently only test at about 6Ahs. Since they were sitting around waiting for disposal I grabbed one and hooked it up. It started the engine without a problem. Keeping in mind that it isn't a "good" battery, it was only able to crank the engine for a total of about 45 seconds. I think that one of those lithium batteries at 18Ahs would probably get you a minimum of about 3 minutes of crank time which should be more than enough. I'll tell you what, I'll do the testing if someone else provides the battery. ;-) Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Dec 1, 2015 7:43 AM, "Richard N.

Cool little lithium batteries, and yes, would be very easy to fit. Need to check charge profile compatibility with with my shore power charger, but for a dedicated start battery that's not essential. Josh - yes, have done my homework on the rest and purchased a blue sea acr/vsr as well as their isolating/combining selector switch in panel, (nice, it has 24/7 breakers incorporated) plus a victron battery condition monitor. I have the 55a alternator so should be ok, and House bank is two form 31 deep cycles. Will revise the grounding to a proper buss as part of this. Big improvements in functionality! dave.

Those looked pretty awesome! Small enough to fit anywhere and powerful enough to start.

A combine switch allows for emergency starting with the house batteries. A very small lead acid battery is enough to turn the engine. If you don't have enough room for a U-1 tractor battery then you might find a motorcycle battery that will fit your needs. Even two 6v motorcycle batteries might solve your space problem. There are some great lithium options in motorcycle batteries too.
