Subject: [TR] Group 49 battery preferred?
I'm thinking I havn't really annoyed folks with my questions, but I'll try
to
improve...
Now about choosing a battery. I've been shopping for one that will more
completely fill my 14" battery box. Although this listserve's members
tended
to prefer a Group 27 size battery, I found some longer (possibly newer
sizes).
Only then did I learn that their weight might be a problem.
Well, I took my bathroom scales into several laps, today. While I
didn't
have a pen on me, this what I learned:
Grp. 24 40 lbs. (this seemed too short)
Grp. 27 48 lbs. 135 Residual Capacity, Durolast brand ,
about
12" (I think)
Grp. 49 45 lbs. (It was about an inch longer, I think)
Grp. 31 60 lbs. (ruled out because it's proably too heavy),
Farm, 180 RC
So let me ask:
Why is Group. 24 or 27 ( recommended "highly" by this list), when a Group
49
battery fits the battery box better? And has similar CCA and RC?
Thanks, Paul 60 TR3A
