batteries large enough limit it to lead acid, which have a finite life
with declining poer over time, shouldnt be stored discharged and they
go dead just sitting around and after such discharge dont recover their
previous capacity......

probably better off with a 12 volt generator.

you could buy a large battery charger and try it in use. if its not
good enough return to store.

my 200 amp boost says it supplies 60 amps at 12


Someone had the best idea. Just jump from your car battery if necessary.


That can also have a couple of downsides, though --

if you're not careful, you can discharge your car battery and strand
yourself

it's not always possible to move a car into a suitable position to use
it that way

Maybe one could use the BOAT's battery (if it has one)?
