This is an existing, garden variety, sealed cranking battery. I
would specify a module that would supply enough charge during winter to
keep the battery charged. The battery will have it's own autonomy
in that it does not need to be charged every day. If the battery is
charged fully once a week, should that not be adequate?<br><br>
