Mep 003 Batteries

[RJM27]

I'm looking for battery option on the Mep 003, preferably Walmart or Tractor supply models.
Thanks Bob.

I use Interstate group 24 batteries with a shim made from a piece of 2X4. I think group 27 batteries will work too. You cannot use the factory "hold down" assembly with either the 24 or the 27 batteries. I use a bungie cord across each battery to hold them down, but that probably is not necessary.

Like cuad4u, I use group 24 batteries. Mine are Walmart "Everstart Maxx", which is what was cheap when I needed them. Since it's a 24v system, it's not as demanding on batteries as you might think. Mine have been in service for about four years, and haven't shown any problems.

I do disconnect them when not in use, with a cheap disconnect switch on one of the ground terminals, as a little insurance against accidental discharge.

I simply use used no name group 59 batteries and they have been good to me so far on a Mep003a

I also use a set of group 24 batteries for the MEP003. Worked fine.
