Battery discussions here and other sites have led me to believe I'd like to switch from four 6 volt batteries to 2 larger 6 volt batteries. I'm not really happy with 4 batteries (2 series pairs connected in parallel). I kept seeing "golf cart batteries" being mentioned. Today I measured my battery tray (2000 Dutchstar, 38'). The tray is approximately 21" wide and 15" deep with about 11" top clearance.
My problem is that the golf cart batteries I've found (Trojan T145, Crown 225) are about the same size as I already have. I thought I could get bigger batteries (two 10x14 or two 20x7). Is there a solution? What can I do to "fill up my battery tray" but, have only two 6 volt batteries?
