RE: Battery life and ambient temps
Another option for generator battery.
Shorai Lithium battery. 36 Ah and 540 CCA. Use of standard automatic charger is fine (without equalizing cycle). 1/4 of the standby discharge rate vs AGM so leaving it alone for months is no problem.
A 4 cylinder diesel requires 200 to 300 amps. 4.7 pounds vs 69 for group 31 and much smaller. Bad news.... Near $300.
N.B.... in my case the gen battery is mounted by headlight so changing the battery reduces front axle load by about 80 #.
