Howdy,
Recently my MEP 003a batteries died. They are the original 6TL batteries from the Military. Date code of May 2010, they were dead when I got the generator. However I charged them up and used them for about 2 years at this point.
With them being dead now I need some replacements. I have read about every thread on the forum, but everyone has different answers! I have gathered that a group 24, 31, 34, and 59 will work....out of these or other choices, what are the cheapest and best fitting batteries available? Currently I'm using my Corvette battery and a tractor battery for an emergency.
I called my local big interstate dealer, not my local garage who I buy from. I doubt they would deal in blemish batteries but I'll call anyway. Regardless the big interstate dealer I will not be supporting. The batteries require an exact core which I don't have, and the lady who helped me was a real B**** . She was talking an attitude with me because she didn't feel like checking on the list of batteries I requested.
Let me know what you guys think.
Will
