31 Series Battery Retrofit

My solution to keeping a couple class 31 battery's in place. Probably overkill as it is a snug fit. Reversed and recessed the tray holding pins mounting bolts so they wouldn't eat through the ends of the battery's.

Now that's a clean idea. Saved for later.
Nice work

I was able to fit another battery in my battery box, so I had (2) Group 31 batteries and (1) Deep Cycle battery for my 12 Volt system. There must have been 2 different vendors for the plastic battery boxes because everybody told me I could put 3 batteries in my plastic box. When I tried they did not fit. So I got another plastic battery box and the difference was the corners were sharper, and the sides were more rigid. This was just enough to allow me to put my 3 batteries in one battery box.

How are you charging the 12volt?

How are you charging the 12volt?

A second alternator above my 24 volt alternator.

I will do something similar once I run a 12v system and a 3rd batt on my 928
