It is important to have the charge voltage (regulator if you are using one) be set to the proper level for the type of battery you are using. A volt or two difference can be hard on a battery if it not correct for the battery type being charged. I'd recommend a totally sealed battery if possible. Looks like you will have a fairly heavy electrical load. What alternator output, in amps, will you have. Three position lamps, non LED's,can pull 3 to 6 amps by themselves. Just to throw out a ball park figure, I'd want at least a 20 AH battery and at least a 15 AMP alternator with your electrical load. Like I said, that's ball park without doing any math on expected loads, etc.. You want enough excess alternator output to keep the battery charged. Larry Flesner
