Group 29 Battery - Outback

JiroTX

I just upgraded my Group 24 battery to Group 29.
Nobody had Group 29 box, so I had to get an adjustable box (works for Group 24-31) from Amazon. Though it is a tight fit, it fits right in the Outback propane box with no modifications.
The battery was $141.95+tax, and the battery box was $18.95+tax.

Excellent job!  thanks for the pics and details.  What is the difference in amp hrs?

Here's the chart from their website:

Nice install. I have the standard tub. It's smaller and has no solid bottom, but I was able to shoehorn a group 27 box in there. When I inserted the battery, however, there was still a little wiggle room in the box. Since the group 29 battery is only marginally larger than the group 27, I'm wondering if I could get the larger battery in my existing box. I suspect there are size variations among brands (both battery and box).

I'm considering the Trojan T-1275.  Standard amp-hrs are usually give at 20 hrs discharge time.  For the T-1275 it's 150 amp-hrs at 20.  Haven't found a better option.  12.96 inches width, 7.13 inches depth, 11.13 inches height.  I think it'll fit.

I did ScottG's Group 27 box upgrade.  The "T-1275 plus" (lower terminals) fits in a NOCO Group 27 box, but just barely. I expect to be a happy camper, maiden voyage with the upgrade this weekend.

You probably doubled your amps without reconstructing your tub!  Nice gain.
