When I bought these I just walked in and put them in the basket. They show all versions out of stock online so I guess they are victim of the dreaded supply issues. I don't know if the cables would reach or not. I was considering getting all new cables when I replaced them. I noticed the other...

As I stated in my post #29 those Value Power 26 batteries died after a short life. I replaced them with two U1R-7 Lawn tractor batteries that are just over three years old and holding so far. $25 apiece. To install those I drilled the battery holes out to 5/16", spread the battery terminal...

So much for cheap batteries. I turned the switch on my 803 this morning to see what the fuel gauge was reading (thought I smelled fuel). My value power group 26 batteries were dead as a doornail. One had less than a volt and the other had 10 volts. On the lucky side they were one day from being...

It's a 24 volt system.

Right would have been installing a battery that sits flat in the space provided but this is a manufacturer snafu. Not the Government.

DOH! I didn't even think about using the tie downs to pull the 24s off the tab. At any rate, the 26 sits right in the hole without touching so I'm happy.

This further illustrates my point. At least in comparison to a standard 34/78 case being the same as a 24. I didn't see any issue with height when I had the 24s installed. The only thing I can figure is the Optima design in the 34/78 size allows that unused mount tab on the engine to sit in...

EDIT: The Value Power group26 batteries died in a year. See post #29. I switched to two lawn tractor batteries and they have been more reliable and a better value. I have some 270 cranking amp lawn tractor batteries in my John Deere, 99 Mustang, and my gate opener. They are a good value at 28...

The 24s I used were marine cranking batteries and I don't have any terminal clearance issues. I just don't like having them leaned against the engine tab. I am at Walmart and the group 34 or 78 are pretty much the same case size. The 51 doesn't have a lot of cranking amps and they only stock it...

I have read and looked and measured and can't figure out how the listed battery will fit in my 803A. The Optima Red Top 34/78 specifications are within a fraction of an inch of a group 24. The best I can measure in my unit the battery can be no more than 6" wide and not hit the unused mount tab...
