Battery Junkies inside

[Pillpopper]

Okay, in the process of setting the mobile using the new truck. Anyone know where I can find a good six cell battery? Had a local place here sell them at a good price but went under about a yr ago. I have heard many good things about the “red tops” but when push come to shove do you think they could out perform a 6 cell under a high load? I am not at all worried about gasses when charging since they will be in the back of the bed.
Thanks for all your help!

get some 6v trojans. Some of the best batteries out there.

You mean like a 12 volt golf cart style. I can get you NAPA numbers on most anything.

haha no, im talking about these big boys they run in busses and these big diesels, they are almost 2 ft long.

OK you need a 4D or 8D. They can be had in deep cycle but there reserve is not much higher than a standard 4D or 8D.

golf cart batteries are usually 6 or 8 volt

Floor scrubbers and electric lift trucks open up a world of heavy duty battery options.

Just go steal someones electric Fork-Lift, and stick the battery in your trunk! I don't think those battery's weigh much over 300 pounds, so as long as you have a good set of shocks on your car, you should be "Good-2-Go!"

I got 6 Excide, 6 volt golf cart batterys. From what im told they would be great to use as a mobil setup.

Yea 300 pounds are light ones!! Just saying I know batteries, it's how I put food on my plate. A 8D weighs 125 pounds and I am guessing that is what he was wanting to start with.

Oh yea I sell shocks too!! Ya see a trend here!

if i am correct on which batteries you are after (about 2 to 2 1/2 foot long and 1 foot wide) check with local agriculture (john deere.. new holland...versatile) dealers.. or even heavy equipment dealers.. (caterpillar..komatsu..etc) those is where that battery was designed to be used.. but those really arent that great of battery... they are bulky and not really a high output.. they were primarily used for 24v systems (tied together is a series circuit)... you could do just as much good off of a couple of good 1000cca batteries..or even good deep cycle 12v. batteries..

I would run 31 series truck batteries if it were me. Good compromise between size and reserve. I can send some links to battery data if you want.

go to Sams

[SARGE]

try a heavy equipment place, or a tractor supply if you have one near by.

[Grump]

Find your local interstate distributor they sell everything from the motorcycles batteries on up to the real big batteries

If you got it, yeah deff send my way.

This is East Penns data on commercial batteries. Napa east of the Mississippi just changes to East Penn from Exide. They claim the same specs from both but that should give you some idea of size, weight, and capacity.

i've never had any luck with an exide battery. East penn is a good battery

[jessejamesdallas]

go to Sams

Yep...Sams has them...4D and 8D...both under $200.....Sams also has Yellow, Red, and Blue Top Batterys, along with 6v and 8v Golf cart batterys...

Springs hold up the rear of a vehicle.
Shocks dampen bumps etc.
