Not a B31 question but you guys are the experts. Westerbeke 8Kw diesel genset, what is the minimum starting battery spec. I have a space problem and want to go as small as resonable. Battery is dedicated to the genset with its own charger. Thanks for your ideas.

You could use just a standard auto battery for that... Get one that would fit something like a S10 truck.

Ditto what The Ole Fart says....the battery tray on my 21 KW Next Gen home standby set is real small....I just went to Pep Boys and they let me wanter around and measure batteries. Mine has a 4 cyl. Kubota and the little car battery is plenty. I have a small auto charger on it and they seem to last about 4-5 years here in the heat.
