Duralast Batteries from Auto Zone
« on: June 19, 2009, 08:27:18 AM »

I think I want to buy the Marine Deep Cycle Duralast batteries from Auto Zone.  I believe they are group 24 and are 85 amp hours.  Size 7 x 8 x 10 Lead Acid maintenance free.   $70 bucks a pop local so no shipping

This will power my Mars ME0709 300 amp 125 amp continuous motor, with the Alltrax 7245 450 amp controller, 72 volt system, charged by the Zivan NG1 onboard charger

If this is a mistake you let me know.

sounds like a pretty good deal, if you got a datasheet or specs link i can have a better check for you.

Good thing I decided to buy just one to build some battery trays and see how it would fit. The battery is too large, too tall to be specific with the terminals sticking out of the top it is over 9 inches tall. It is also too heavy at 45 pounds. I could barely hang 4 batteries off of the bike without cutting up the frame. That's 180 pounds just for a 48 volt sytem. I decided to punt on these batteries and I will return it to Auto Zone and try the Universal Power Group UB125000 ones next. I will upload pictures of the moch up with this battery on my website.
