Much googling has not been able to help me, so here I am again.
I have decided I would like to install an Odyssey starting battery for my VP 2002, this one, http://www.mdsbattery.co.uk/shop/productprofile.asp?ProductGroupID=8557
I have room for it pretty adjacent to the two 110 ah leisure batteries. These make up a bank of of two separate batteries through a 1, 2, both and off switch. The cables joining these batteries is 25mml square. I know how to parallel these up and I will use 25mml cable to do so, but what of the starter battery.
I will only need a length of about 750 millimeters to connect it into the system via the 1,2 both switch.
The 25mml cable can handle 180 amps continuously and 405 in short bursts. I believe the 2002 draws a current of about 150 amps, but on initial start it may be more, this is what I can't find out.
So my question is will 25mml cable be okay to link this new battery into the system.
Cheers
