Re: Batteries @ Q? Reply #51 – January 11, 2017, 02:08:09 am After reading through the topic, I have to agree that a smart meter is the way to go, especially with a digital readout. It will give the truest reading and you can set your own comfort level. They're very easy to wire. The Trimetric works wonders for me, and helps on those rainy days that don't charge the batteries for my solar (I still get charge when it's cloudy, but not enough) giving me a good reading. As for the musical tastes, yes, that HAS to be the most annoying sound ever to be inscribed to vinyl! For those who would like to show us the CORRECT musical taste, I am bringing my karaoke setup for them to prove it. Quote Selected

Re: Batteries @ Q? Reply #56 – January 12, 2017, 05:46:34 pm Ok so started thinking about where to put another battery type 31?I read about 3 red tops and looked where my 2 are... rember that wyatt uses all batteries...... I have room for maybe 2 of these.. clear path to the other batteries 8d for house. Can I just connect there? Maybe this is a discussion at Q..http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/SSBL/AGM31DT/N0056.oap?mn=Super+Start&mc=SSB&pt=N0056&ppt=C1980From our buddies at o rielys, thoughts... Quote Selected
Re: Batteries @ Q? Reply #57 – January 12, 2017, 06:36:18 pm Check the 31 series at Autozone. About the identical specs but at $117, it's half price. Both have 18 mo warranty. I have three Autozone Duralast batteries I put in seven years ago. Still cranks as fast in winter as when I put them in. Made by Johnson Controls. Read reviews on page below.It got put in the wrong category on the page. Supposed to be under "truck."Duralast Battery 31-950 - Read 1 Reviews on Duralast #31-950Pierce Quote Selected 1 Likes

I checked again and my page shows it in stock. But to be sure, I called them and they do have the 31-950 in stock for the $117.99 They are open until ten. Quote Selected

Re: Batteries @ Q? Reply #62 – January 12, 2017, 07:55:38 pm When and if our 24 series Duralasts need replacing, I'll go with the 31 series. Because they are a commercial battery, the warranty is much shorter. But the large distance between the plates and the bottom of the case means when the battery ages, the plate deposits that drop to the bottom won't cause the cell to short.Sam's Club also has Duracells in stock locally at excellent prices from $94 for HD. Their deep cycle Duracell AGM 31 series seem to be an extra good deal at $179.94 Sam's Club is almost everywhere. http://www.samsclub.com/sams/search/searchResults.jsp?searchCategoryId=all&searchTerm=31%20series%20battery&fromHome=yes&_requestid=7174599 Sam's club has locations almost everywhere. I've gone in Sam's Club from Puerto Penasco to Agua Caliente in Mexico also. For fouroureyes: I would use the Sam's Club deep cycle AGM 31 series as it's designed for the discharge cycles that RV house batteries see. It's RV deep cycle. See specs at: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/duracell-agm-deep-cycle-marine-and-rv-battery-group-size-31dtmagm/prod3590232.ip?xid=plp:product:1:5Pierce Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Batteries @ Q? Reply #63 – January 12, 2017, 08:57:14 pm If I don't boondock and am always on shore power why do I need to buy the large expensive batteries? Seems like all I need is a couple of deep cycle batteries for the few minutes I am not on shore power. Do I then need to reconfigure the prosine inverter? Quote Selected

Re: Batteries @ Q? Reply #66 – February 07, 2017, 10:00:10 am Pierce check Truck Pro on group 31 batteries I use them in my Peterbilt, I think the last set was between 70-89 bucks each. I have a cash account set up in their system if you need some let me know and ill pass the info to you. It might save you enough to buy a 6 pack. Quote Selected
