If you buy a cheap battery that has only a Reserve Capacity rating (and not an amp-hours for 20 hours rating), then for comparison the current stock Escape battery is an Interstate SRM-27...

The Reserve Capacity is for how many minutes the battery can deliver a current of 25 amps. If that is the only rating on the batteries that you are comparing, a bigger number is better. But if that...

There are flooded lead-acid batteries called "maintenance free": that's what I was referring to, that's what tdf-texas described, and they are worthless for deep-cycle operation such as in an RV....

Not a dumb question, given the label. The information on the website (including the table showing the whole series) provides the voltage.

Also, I've never heard of a Group 24 (or 27, or 31)...

The photo confirms the part number which you linked earlier, Bobbie - a Group 24 12-volt battery. If you have only one of these now, you can significantly increase capacity with a single larger...

They can't really be exactly that battery unless the wiring has been changed from series to parallel, or there is only one battery, because that (like Group 24 batteries in general) is a 12-volt...

True, since all lead-acid batteries are plastic boxes filled with lead plates separated by an acid electrolyte, they all weigh about the same for a given size. Some manufacturers play with the...

The specs seem minimal for all of their batteries, so perhaps that's just their website choice and when you ask they can provide a more complete spec sheet.

We don't have Les Schwab here, but I know that it is an automotive retailer, primarily of tires; tire stores routinely do shocks and batteries as well. It's probably a good place to buy a car...

My understanding is that you have two 6-volt batteries. In that case, their size is "GC2"; the Group 27 size is only used for 12-volt batteries.

Typical case dimensions:

27: 12.1" L x 6.8" W x...

A flooded RV or marine battery from Walmart will work and is about as cheap as is readily available; however, you're not likely to find a 200 Ah 12-volt battery at Walmart, and even if you did you...

If you don't want the reduction in capacity to be too drastic, you can pick a relatively large 12-volt battery. You can get half your current capacity (at half of the weight), instead of settling...
