Well, I missed that one for sure!  And yes, I have been asked that question before and it comes to mind when I was in Boulder City at Carquest!  I just basically said, this is the part I need, I will worry if it will fit in my application!  lol

My local NAPA has learned to not ask.

Regarding your battery trays, you can always have the mobile welder-fabricator come out and make new ones on site, if your neighbors don't mind the ruckus.

Regarding battery weight, if there are three flavors of Group 31 batteries the heaviest is most likely the one with the most amp hour capacity.  Regarding the Cold Cranking Amperage, they're all Starting Lighting and Ignition batteries.  True deep cycle batteries are few and far between.  Even Trojan, in the 8D size sells an AGM as 'deep cycle."

Could probably order a drop in extension tray. Fit on top. Would probably need longer hold down bolts. Would also add to the fat empty weight but would be a easy mod. What's another six pounds?
