Title: Just bought new battery
Post by: Ribs1 on Apr 24, 2007, 09:23 PM
Hello Fellow popuppers,
I just bought this Trojan battery from a golf cart store near my house.
http://www.trojan-battery.com/Products/ProductSpec.aspx?Name=T-1275

It's a new model from Trojan and it supposed to have the same construction as the t-105 6 volt batteries only it's 12 volt.  I was considering going the double 6volt route until I found this beauty.  It has the same footprint as a group 31 but it's slightly taller.
Check it out.

Thanks for posting the link.  I need to replace at least one of my batteries this year, so the information came at a good time.:)

If you have shortage of weight on the tongue, that one will help, at 82 pounds.

I noticed that too--82 lbs!  Is that really correct?  Holy cow!  I can't imagine lugging that thing around to recharge!  Add two full propane tanks, and I believe that would make my tongue way too heavy!

Yep,
It really is 82 pounds.  I will probably leave it on the tongue for its life.  I plan to charge it where it is.  I hope it lives up to it's hype.  I don't think I will have a tongue weight problem as it's only about 20 pounds heavier that a group 27.  Many people put 2 t-105's on their tongue with no problem.  A pair of t-105's weights about 120  pounds.
