My 2c opinion is that the Alternator is the main source of power, the battery is a backup. so battery should be sized to suit your desired Alternator off endurance, which will be specific to your aircrafts minimum electric power consumption. If your ever planing on flying east or up north from Perth I'd suggest to try for 3-4 hours battery endurance just to make sure you can safely make a landing area near civilization.

Have you got any further with your electrical wiring description you mentio= ned earlier.
Also, what setup do you have in the RV4 & 8 ?
What battery/s electrical system do you employ?
