Source for 24V Genset batteries?

Hi folks,

I am looking for a source for a 24V battery for my MEP-017A. I am running it with two std 12 v batteries now but would like to get battery that will fit in cage within frame of the genset. The best I have been able to do so far is a tractor supply place in the midwest that wants to charge me $260 for the battery plus shipping w/an 8 week wait! I know there must be better options out there and look forward to member replies.

Thanks!

Which battery does your TM specify, 4HN?

Warehousebatteryoutlet.com located in Quakertown, PA give them a call with the . Mil battery number. I paid 160.00

Military Surplus 24Volt battery NOS New Old Stock. Unlimited shelf life. Generator start battery MEP-Battery / Solar.


Military Surplus 24Volt battery NOS New Old Stock. Unlimited shelf life. Generator start battery MEP-Battery / Solar.

NEW OLD STOCK, Ordnance battery for military vehicle or MEP generator. This is a new TITAN type BB-297/U MS-75047-1 battery that is dry charge so there is no acid in the battery which gives it an unlimited shelf life until it is activated. Just take out of the box, remove the caps, add the NOS included, battery acid, charge up and go. 24v Solar Storage battery for inverter systems.

Interstate Batteries did show the 24v units in their catalog. Most NAPA stores are Interstate dealers.

I just had to buy a 4HN for my MEP-701a (post twisted off the top of the old one) at Battery Warehouse here in DeRidder,LA yesterday for $105.

Thanks Ike - will check them out.

Cheers,

Ed

last summer white owl had them for 75.00. They were NOS and were dry so you had to add the acid to them. But being dry you could ship them ups.

Thanks Derf!!!

Wow again - looks like a lot of interest - thank you Phil for lead as well. Ed
