The 45 lb 6200 is rated 9 kw or about 750 amp at 12 volt. Might be more than you need.

6200 Model :
9KW = 9000 Watts
Watts / Volts = Amps
9000 watts / 12 volts = 750 Amps
When I look at a chart for the
8080 model (13+ lbs) I seek 1 KW at 1200 RPM :
1000 / 12 = 83 Amps
At 2400 RPM I see ~5KW :
5000 / 12 = 416 Amps
Sooooo, there's plenty of juice in them.
