Downside could be leaving the radio on for a really long time and draining the house batteries. But in my case with plenty of batt. capacity and solar charging, it's unlikely to happen..

Better to drain the house battery instead of the starting battery

With the 300-400 ah that I have planned. I don'think that will be an issue.

 

[AstroWill]

Is that 300-400 usable?

 

[MI_Ghost]

3-4 100 ah batteries backed by 200 watt solar and 300 amp alternator.

 

[AstroWill]

Yes, but 3-4 100ah lead acid batteries = 150-200ah usable. 3-4 100ah lithium = 300-400ah usable.

That's why I was asking if that was usable amp hours.

It won't be cheap either way.
