Hi,

Being AGM they can be installed on their sides.

If you have tall enough space I'd suggest considering 12 volt surplus acid AGM jars that are "take outs" from cell phone tower back up power banks. Several of us have been using them with good success.

Thanks!! Battery box isn't tall enough though :(

Copy that!! I'll take a closer look.

I run four of those. If you go Trojans they do state 14.8 volt charging

4 of which? There are 8 different batteries on that page.

SAMS CLUB OFFER
go to www.livingsocial.com/deals/1603112-25-for-a-1-year-sam-s-club-savings-membership-10-e-gift-card-100-in-additional-savings?pos=0 $25.00 for a year plus a $10.00 gift card.

With out being a member or signing in you can visit Sam's club and get pricing for your local store.
But which battery is dependent on the kind of camping you intend to do. If you are just overnighting at a Walmart or FlyingJ then the GC2 will be sufficient
However if you intend to spend a few days without hook ups I would go the Premium GC2.
TAKE NOTICE of the posts on the battery

Buy the size that fits your current battery boxes.

When I purchased the golf cart batteries, they only had one version on the shelf. No thinking required. Then I had to find new battery boxes because the 6 volt batteries are tall. Also really heavy compared to the 12 volt deep cycle batteries I've used.

I measured the battery box and it'll fit two 6 volts. Good point on the weight though, I should be concerned about the 1993 welds holding! I'll do some research on the best 12v we can use. We will be doing a lot of dry camping, which is why I wanted to go with two 6 volts.

You don't have to be a Sam's Club member to shop there, you just pay a little higher price.
