I doubt there’s more than about 20ah in a motorcycle battery, and that will be cut in half or less under a heavy draw. Not that a car battery is going to be a lot better. Agm racing batteries are probably the way to go, but not cheap. Then again, for that kind of money, you might as well use lithium and save some weight. $$ brings us back to using car batteries....
It's a 35ah AGM so it's decent, but like you said, not a car battery.....got one to try at $50 as a factory blemish cause one of the terminals was messed up.
