One thought:  drawing that much power, you might want to consider
one (or several) 24 volt truck/marine batteries rather than A 12 volt
auto battery.  The truck batteries are bigger and more rugged (I used
to backpack them up mountains to power temporary radio transmitters),
and would probably be cheaper in the long run, as well as taking less
of a hit from surge power requirements.
