just got myself a RCD blower starter;;can't afford a RCD battery pack at this time ;IF I go with full size batterys then what type [deep cycle marine/rv or lead acid std or ] and then how much Cranking amps do they need to be?they got to be mounted on back of golf cart so tight for space so there again person got starter from said he only used 36 volts and it started his car fine but would there be a big difference if I had the room to go to 48 volts?another thing;;if you have 4 12 volt batterys that is 500 cranking amps each and you hook them up so to get 48 volts then does that make them 2000 cranking amps then?
