Battery question on 925A1

[Triple C]

My 925 has four batteries that are shot. I can cable two in series to get 24 volt but will that have enough oomph to start the truck, it has a NHC 250 Cummings. I will put four in before winter but wondered if that would work for a bit. Thanks.

I'm only running 2 new group 24's and it fires up fine.

If you not in a cold place it should work fine.

The batteries in the 900 series are better protected and would prob be hot enough to crank the "Nifty 250" unless it was sub-zero and they had been out in the cold a long time.

Most commercial trucks only had two batteries back in the day and they stated fine.

I only run 2 batteries in my 5 tons.

Great news guys, thanks. I do live where it sometimes gets below zero and I might need it then, since I got it to bust through deep snow (probably just insured it won't snow at all now!) But I can get two more batteries before it gets real cold.

BTW, what is a group 24 battery?

my 2 common Wal mart batteries have been starting my Cummins for several years.

I've been using 2 908D batteries from Deka on an M-813 with the NHC-250 -- very strong.

okay if I did this right, I have a pdf file with a drawing. I am not sure how to set the batteries up going from 4 to 2, do I run them like this?

Thats it. Where is Napoleon, MO?

 

[Triple C]

We are east of KC about 25 Miles and 12 miles north of I-70. Thanks for the help!

 

[Stein12501]

No problem. By the way nice truck.

 

[Triple C]

Thanks Stein12501, are those gel cell batteries you have in? Where's Tebbetts?

 

[Stein12501]

They're Optima I think they class them as an AGM battery. For the price I think that they're better batteries out there. Tebbetts is about 6 miles East of Jefferson City.
