Help me buy some batteries

As of now I have two 8D chassis batteries and two deep cycle 8D house batteries. I can fit four of These in place of the two house 8Ds. We don't boondock much but is that a better set up. Will I need to make any changes to my inverter/ charger if I switch?

    Mike,

    It's lucky you lived in one of these states: AL, CT, DE, FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MS, NC, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, RI, SC, TN, VA, WV

    I wonder why you can't have them shipped to other states?

    As long as everything is 12 VDC, just wire them up series-parallel and you are good to go.

    I use 4 of these wired series-parallel as well and they work great...

    Exellent choice. Won't have to change anything, cept purchase a couple interconnect cables for the series connection.
