Hi folks,

I am looking for a source for a 24V battery for my MEP-017A. I am running it with two std 12 v batteries now but would like to get battery that will fit in cage within frame of the genset. The best I have been able to do so far is a tractor supply place in the midwest that wants to charge me $260 for the battery plus shipping w/an 8 week wait! I know there must be better options out there and look forward to member replies.

Thanks!

NEW OLD STOCK, Ordnance battery for military vehicle or MEP generator. This is a new TITAN type BB-297/U MS-75047-1 battery that is dry charge so there is no acid in the battery which gives it an unlimited shelf life until it is activated. Just take out of the box, remove the caps, add the NOS included, battery acid, charge up and go. 24v Solar Storage battery for inverter systems.
