THOR #5809
2016 ACE 30.1 House batteries

It came new with two 12v batteries in parallel. I can't find any markings on them. Anybody know? Manufacturer, group size, AH rating?

Also, I see that there is room there for somewhat larger batteries - an inch or two more in length and width, maybe more in height. Anybody know what I can fit in there?

Probably Harris batteries, Thor uses on most units.

Worldwide batteries. I just spoke to Thor about them. They stopped using the Harris a few years ago. Worldwide us probably just as bad

I believe they are group 27

Thor must have had a lot of left over Harris batteries cause that's what I have in mine. Purchased our coach in June 2016, no wonder that don't hold much of a charge!!!

Had Harris batteries on my 2017 until this morning. Mine had a date of 5/16 so Thor was still getting new ones. Now I have 2 6V Interstates. Harris batteries lasted 8 months. They wouldn't take a charge - 12.6v to 19.1v in 4 days with no load.

Given the various posts I've seen about Harris not honoring warranties I didn't bother trying to get them replaced...with the same. Time, cost of driving 50 miles to CW and the hassle with them did not make it worth even trying. I also changed out the WFCO converter with a Progressive Dynamics.
