RE: How big of a charger do I need?

Thanks Shan... I only have about 440Ah total. 25% of that is over 100A... You sure that's the right formula?

So you disconnect the charge from the house bank at dock? Do you just use a switch? What about if you are gone for a week or two?

Yes... Wet cells will replace these. But I may go up to six for 660AH.

My issue about a separate battery for the windlass is that with this small of a house bank, a couple of failed attempts to get anchored might kill my house bank just before I need it to be strong. (ie: sitting at anchor)
