Eagle Cap 850 Battery Compartment
Can anyone confirm/deny if 2 GR 30 batts will fit? Have 2 GR 27 currently, but may move them to the Airstream and upgrade to 2 GR 30 for the TC. Looks close...but should fit?! Please let me know w...

Went out and measured the battery compartment last night.
The 31's are .86" ea longer than the 27 12.91" vs 12.05".
I have 1 battery out right now (in the airstream) and with 1 in there I still have a solid 15" to the door. that mean a good 28" OAL.
2 GR 30= 25.82".
2 gr 27= 24.10"
SHOULD be fine. In fact I use a 1" block of wood with my 2 gr 27 to prevent them from sliding around.
I know it will be tight, but being AGM's...once they're in, they're in for good.
I want to get 2 more batteries so I can stop switching back/forth TC to AS...a real PIA! I will put new batteries in the TC.
Now I am thinking 2 6V AGM might be a good option; they are 10.25"l x 7.06"wd x 10.19" ht and will result in almost 2x useable amp hours vs the GR 31 AGM 12V.
I think it's time to give Randy a call...
