When you pull that much current from an 80 AH battery, I'm betting that it will
quickly drop below the 11.5 volt "breaking voltage"  they speak of.  You would
probably have to have the engine at least idleing, maybe more.

Even if you had to have the engine idling, it would be a nice thing to own.  :)
