Who should I get the little 24 volt generator batteries from? Do the batteries have a group #?

I 'think' but could be wrong, you are looking for a 2HN ? (off the top of my head...)

 

[Westech]

there on ebay all the time. like 25 bucks

The battery is a 4HN... 12 cells in one battery.... 2HN is the Jeep battery. I use two lawnmower batteries in series for mine.. The nice folks from Zero Davidson and Kevin Emdee...will be at the Weare Rally with batteries...and other accessories...I am told...

 

[mangus580]

Aha!! I knew it was HN

Thanks ACE!

Two lawn mower batteries is a great tip, space is tight. thanks ace.

The size group that matches the 4HN and 2HN batteries is a group 51 battery. If you have space for two batteries then the 51 battery will work. If not then the 24 volt 4HN is available on Ebay. It is shipped dry so you have to buy acid locally to fill it.

just looked and couldn't find one. i'll try again but if you have a seller or a listing, i'd appreciate it.

2 Motorcycle batteries just might fit for you... smaller than most lawnmower batts.

Also, the Austin Healy Sprite battery was a 22NF...works in Jeeps..almost the same size.

Motorcycle/lawnmower batteries are not long lived though. I'd recommend adding a 2nd battery box and fit 2 decent "normal" size batteries in series. At least you'll be getting 5+ years out of the batteries rather than a couple years (and you'll get a battery warranty). Less expensive in the long term.

I've noticed the big garden tractor batteries are $20 and the smaller motorcycle batts can run $50. It would be easier to be able to stay in the original battery dimensions so that they will stay inside the quiet pack.

I picked this battery up on ebay. New in the box. Just had to add the electrolyte. I forget the sellers name but they are listed often. He is out of California I think. I added the '24 volts'.

I have them at $50 each, new in the box, right down the road from you in North Carolina.
One of the few, Frank

There you go.... Even better to buy from an SS member!

Anybody have a 4HN for sale?

Battery Warehouse had them last time I talked to the lady.
She can ship them dry.
