This build looks nice and tidy so far. I will be watching with interest.

The gel or AGM batteries seem to have more Cold Cranking Amps in a smaller package than the old lead acid batteries. That said, I live in a very cold climate and would want plenty of battery capacity if I needed to park outside overnight. I kept a lithium ion boost pack in my Grand Cherokee CRD before I sold it. It helped if the battery was a little low.
