[DaveP]

BFR, I have the 31's in 2 of my units. (4 batterys in each one) good results even up here in the cold. and yes I use dialectric grease on all electrical connections. saves time and hassles later.

Buggyman, Did U have to order in those bats special? I need a set in my Deuce . I get them at autozone. Phil

Phil,
No, they were not ordered special. Maybe it was Advance that I got those at, I can never get the two straight!

I think the key is tight tight tight. Any gap will cause an arc to be created and then then the meltdown is inevitable.

The BIG thing is, make sure they are as tight as you can get em. That's why they fry,
