Stand alone starting battery for generator
I am thinking about adding a dedicated starting battery for the Onan generator in our C-Force. I have a Sure Power isolator on hand, and space for a battery. Are there any issues I need to be aware of...

Hi Fargo,
I'm glad it is working for you. What sort of battery did you get for the dedicated generator battery?
I'm a little surprised at the low voltage on the house batteries under load. Are they nearing the end of their lifespan?
Starting battery - is a 1000CCA starting battery threaded terminal.
Deep cycles kaput?
Yes I think so. They were new last year but they were left connected (batt switch "on" - not connected to shore power) all winter by the PO. Detectors and sound system flattened them. My experience with Optima type batteries is they do not like this. I have a pair of T105 6v in the TC I am going to move between the units for now as we don't camp in both at the same time.
