    You will have no problems provided when using your system while stationary you have the car in ready mode and park. This way the car will look after the state of charge of the 12 volt battery.
    If the battery is the original or more than four years old replace it now as it is on borrowed time.

    In my opinion the Exide Edge FP-AGM51-JIS is a better battery for your needs than the Optima. The main reason I say this is because of it's higher capacity "45 AH against 38 AH". It also has a longer full replacement guarantee at 5 years. It is comparatively priced with the Optima.
    If you do not mind minor modifications to the battery terminals go for a 55 AH mobility battery. See my post
    Fitting mobility 12volt AGM battery.
