    If you want to do it right, get 4 6V 200-220ah batteries (golf cart batteries). Wire them in series parallel and with an isolator. Leave your CCA batteries for what they’re designed for, starting.

    I don't anybody learned anything about batteries in 2022.

    Batteries appear to be approaching the $200 range these days.
