Bow thruster battery
I'm planning to install a dedicated bow thruster battery just 2-3ft away so that the thruster has its own source of power separate from my 600Ah LFP house bank, which currently requires (2x) 40' round trip of 2/0 wiring. And dims the lights whenever the thruster is used. I'll probably also connect the windlass to it, and a DC-DC charger to recharge it.

What do we think about this battery?

12V
120Ah
1100 CCA
Rated for 800A @ 10s (SOC>60%), 800A @ 5s (SOC<60%), 600A @ 10s

My Sidepower bow thruster uses 540A@12V.
