NOTE: on your Group 24's. I am told a GC-2 its in the same tray as a Group 24, (Check this first) but is a bit taller.
IF YOU HAVE THE HEADROOM, consider upgrading two 24's to two GC-2 They connect differently (Be aware of that) but again each pair of GC-2 make a single 12 volt battery 215-230 amp hours (Dependign on the speciic sub model) but that compairs to 150 for what they relace.. Replace in pairs.
