I dont think its worth taking power from the battery to jump start your wind gens.
You should create a slave windmill setup, something small like the nicd windmill charger setup. Use this to jump start your windmill. This way you dont have to worry about draining your main battery, and you can pulse it more often. The smaller slave windmill will turn easier in lighter winds too. So it should maintain its charge pretty well.
I guess it depends on your setup, how often you pulse the generator. etc
Was just a idea i had rattling around in my head.
