My suggestion would be an Odyssey battery (model 925 will fit with lotsa room left over) and rather than an inverter, I'd suggest the Sure Power 1315 Separator. I've got this set up and it works great. There are instructions with the 1315 that will allow you to wire it to use the aux. bat. for starting when/if the main is to low. By the way, all the instructions about how to install and wire the system come with the 1315, it just that the "starter" option is an alternative, not necessary in order to install and use the 1315.
