The reserve capacity of the similarly sized Napa battery is the same as the Trojan, which isn't available here. Their search engine sucks; I did find the golf cart battery after some searching but...

I'll check the hardware store that says they carry the brand and see if they have it or can get it. What do I need to know to see if it will fit? Case is a group 27 so that part should be fine but in...

So what rating am I looking for? I've given up on Les Schwab and will be looking at Napa and am probably going for a single larger 12V.

OK, that sounds do-able with the amps and a single battery. I can add another if I need to at some point.

Thanks, Napa it is, I forgot about them! Also their website has all the info I need. (I hope.) I think I found 6V to compare. (Had to google, their search function didn't find them.)

And questions 2 and 3- why are 2 6V batteries better, and pros and cons of maintenance free batteries. (one pro I know- I'm not the greatest about scheduled maintenance, and one con, expense.)

So when I look at 12V batteries- what numbers do I need to know how long the battery charge would last (compared to another battery, not in actual usage which obviously depends.)

That would probably work. The battery box would need replacing but both of them are looking more brittle than a new one would be so that wouldn't hurt. I'll see what I can get locally and talk to...

I have two. I'll check the wiring. What on this tells you 12V vs. 6V? (Seems like a dumb question but I don't see voltage listed.)

It's a Nautilus battery and says H12 which sounds like August 2012 which seems a bit odd for a 2011 trailer unless the first owner upgraded after a year.

Dead battery dilemma
