Lithium batteries

I have many of these 12v 40ah lithium iron phosphate batteries available to me due to it being mildly used demo inventory. None the less this is superior battery technology to most other chemistries. I think it really hasn't taken off in the marine environment or many markets due to cost. If not buying in volume these can run a $1000 a battery. I'm thinking of rigging up a bank for my bow thruster or maybe my house bank. The specs are pretty limited as it relates to cca. I know my thuster recommends a minimum of 800 cca. Not sure how i would calculte this but perhaps the mfg has this info. I know they used these batteries for Benetaus new hybrid boat so I would think it might work. Check the spec out below. I would suspect this is similar to using smaller golf cart type batteries. Does anyone have reccomendations on how many of these I should use for a house bank? http://www.valence.com/products/u-charge-rt-modules
