Note that the ad states Special Order Only.
Must be an old ad, 19" batteries have not been made by anybody for a lil while now.
For fun, I just sent them a query note asking about availability. I'll update all if/when I get a reply.

Its not old. They use a battery plant in Seattle. All sizes are special order. The plant makes them as you order them.

Please note NO CCA data available on this battery.
Re: replace 8 8 volt batteries for 50' Convertible w/ 8v92TI
Does the Trojan web site have any CCA information available on this 8v AGM?

I was looking over the weekend and could not find it. The only 8v AGM I’ve been able to find CCA specs on is the Full River brand and it was quite stout at 1150 CCA.

They do not, but many are using the 8v golf cart lead acid batteries (myself included) with success. I hate the fumes from lead acid batteries (like we need more help creating corrosion), so always want to go with agm's wherever possible.

This is very interesting
Anybody want to dig deeper into the original sized 19", 8v battery?

This special order battery is available. Lead time can be 2-3 weeks as they are built to order at the manufacturer. This is an 8 Volt DC battery and is not commonly used hence the special order status and longer lead time.

Re: replace 8 8 volt batteries for 50' Convertible w/ 8v92TI
I replaced mine with deka. I did Four one year and four the next to lessen the pain. At the end of last season one of the newer took a crap and drained the other three on the only weekend I was out of town. I was able to bring them all back but my season ended so I need to see how they held up over the winter. I always isolate each battery in both banks prior to storage.

Ralph,
If you want to know about these Dyno Batteries, just call Fisheries. My buddy just did that and found a bunch of information about all of the 8v batteries that they have sourced. He is going to order a set of the longer M15's as those are the size of his Rolls. He found that they are made to order from the plant in Seattle. I don't know why everone wants to find out all of their information online. Many times it's just better to call and speak to someone.
