Starting a generator with Smart Lithium Batteries

I'm installing two Smart Lithium 12,8/200 amp hour batteries in parallel in my RV and would like to start the LP fueled generator with them. The generator datasheet shows 380 amps starting current. Referring to the battery datasheet, is the combined max continuous discharge rate of 800amps sufficient to accomplish this? Also, are there any additional safety devices, such as a current limiter that should be added to my installation?

You have enough. Make sure your cables are big enough.And make sure the generator starts before the batteries are too flat to start the Genny.
