Quick question. What size battery will fit in the smaller starter battery space in the Ragusa front tripple battery holder? I'm looking for group size. I assume get the most cranking and reserve amps you can afford.


Thanks everyone.

Todd,

I installed the Ragusa battery tray that conforms to the inside of the body on the passenger side. Before I installed it I removed
the guides cast into the bottom so I could put any size battery I wanted on the tray. As you look in through the hood there's a 755
CCA (IIRC) battery at the very back going left to right. On the right there's a large deep discharge house battery and next to that
is a plastic battery box where I keep bottles of extra fluids.

Oh yeah, if you decide to use a plastic battery box to store bottles of fluids be sure to drill some holes in the bottom of the box,
I'm sure you can figger out why! DOUH!

Both batteries have the remote fill kits on them. After having problems with corrosion the tray was sandblasted, powder coated, and
sprayed with truck bed liner.

Regards,
Rob M.
