Batteries to replace 8D's

[Captned]

Greetings all,

I'm looking to replace my last two 8d's I have on board with batteries that will fit in the 2-8d boxes I have now. I have 8 other golf cart batteries for the house bank and to start my starboard engine. The 2 - 8d's I need to replace are dedicated port engine start batteries. I do have a combiner switch. If I could get two batteries to start my port engines,(that would fit in the boxes) I could add more golf carts to my house bank.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

what you are looking for is the 8D replacement by Rolls battery. esentially it is a series of six 2 volt batteries that is specifically designed for this purpose. it has more power than their best 8D and you install each 'cell' individually making it a breeze to replace. I unfortunately purchased four 8D batts from them about six months before these where released. call New England Batterý they are the north east rep for Rolls (cant buy direct). 978 745 3333 or 978 745 7900 ask for Dana and tell him Russ sent you.

You just need to use the "search" site at the top of the page for batteries, there's been a lot of write up on batteries lately.

No offense, but you put in 8D batteries and look at what comes back!

You're right. Nobody wants anything to do with 8D's. When people see you dragging them down the dock, they usually hide and hope you ask for help.
