         Not a problem, just increase the wire size- I would go with #4 or 
#2 cable.

         Good choice with the AGMs

         I *really* like the Progressive Dynamics Intellipower series- they 
have capacities between 15 and 80 amps- the 45 and 55 amp models are the 
most popular- be sure to get the "Charge Wizard" add on option- this turn 
it in to a three stage charger.
         The combination of an Intellipower/charge wizard and an AGM 
battery will pretty much take care of you future battery maintenance worries.
