4.7 amps is about right with the compressor running, gives about 2.5 AH average at 50% duty cycle.

Will move this to auto electrical and suggest you have a look through some old posts there as the subject of batteries is "not new".

i ran a trojan, theyre the red batteries from america, got 6years out of it!, so obviously went same again but there no longer branded that......theyre federal batteries 125ah 675cca about 260smackers.
i nearly went with a marshal but wasa 100 more for less rating but i couldnt beat the run i had in my battery.
the marshal guy said the key to a deep cycles durability is to not drain it down to dead flat.
the more charge in the battery will result in more cycles and a longer life.
running it to dead flat will kill it quick
