Question for Eagle Cap 850 owners

What size batteries are you carrying? What have you managed to shoehorn into your battery compartment? Nominated for tightest battery compartment around...

Thanks,
TimH
  • Yeah...free shipping too (how does he do that...those bloody things are heavy?!)

    Randy's a good Dude...he knows his stuff...and he live the lifestyle.He understands RV's...

  • I had to laugh - you said you got them from Randy...I remembered a Randy from Best that was vey helpful in the past!

    Thanks for the info, I'll call him. His prices seem great as well.
  • We got our AGM's from Randy.
    With AGM's...there is no reason to take them out.

    Having said that, I am pretty sure I could easily fit GR 29's...I'll check this weekend-I'll be loading up again for spring skiing!

  • Bill - what brand AGM's did you go with? Prices seem to vary greatly.
  • I also have 2 - 27's and absolutely hate putting them in or taking them out. With our style of camping, I don't ever seem to be short of power.

    Bill, your box must be bigger than mine. I need K-Y jelly to get my batteries in.

    Tim, what year is your 850?

    We have 2 Gr 27 AGM's that fit no problem. We already had these from our last TC so this is what we used. I have not measured, but it looked like I could fit larger no problem.

    Any way, 2 Gr 27 give us plenty of juice for our needs...

    2013. I was hoping to get 2 12volt AGM's to cut down on maintenance due to limited size.
