Dig it. Each horsepower is almost exactly 750 watts, and it's hardly worth thinking about starting a tractor unless you intend to do something with a couple hundred of 'em. Two hundred horses at twelve volts come out to about 12,500 amps. How's that for fast-charging? B-) Pity batteries won't take it as fast as you can push it - at that rate I could charge my travel trailer's two deep-cycles in about about 62 seconds.
